Astigmo optometer

Astigmo-optometer is a device that is used to measure and diagnose astigmatism of the eye, which is one of the most common visual impairments. This device allows you to determine the shape and degree of astigmatism, as well as identify its causes.

Astigmatism occurs when the cornea of ​​the eye has different curvature in two perpendicular directions. This causes the light rays passing through the eye to be focused on different points rather than on the retina. As a result, a person sees a distorted image, which can cause discomfort and even impair vision.

To measure astigmatism, an astigmo-optimometer uses a special lens that allows light rays to be focused on the retina of the eye. The angle at which the light rays intersect on the retina is then measured and the degree of astigmatism is determined.

In addition, the astigmo-optimometer allows you to identify the causes of astigmatism and determine what measures need to be taken to eliminate it. For example, if astigmatism is caused by an abnormal shape of the cornea, surgery may be required to correct it.

However, it is important to note that astigmometers are medical devices and their use should only be carried out under the supervision of a qualified ophthalmologist. He will determine the degree of astigmatism and prescribe the appropriate treatment or correction.



An astigm optimometer is a medical device for diagnosing and correcting visual refraction. It measures the curvature of the patient's cornea and determines the presence of astigmatism.

Astigmatism is a condition in which the optical system of the eye is not perfectly smooth. This results in a distorted image that the patient sees. Astigmatism can be either permanent or temporary. Permanent astymatism can be caused by hereditary factors, injuries or eye diseases. Temporary astigmatism occurs due to the irregular shape of the cornea.

An incorrectly configured astignathic device will cause vision loss in a child if the diagnosis is untimely. And if initially the pathology of the eye structures is not noticeable during an examination by an ophthalmologist, then a month before kindergarten the child already loses 50 percent of his vision. Parents of such children have to resort to glasses. The development of astytagia in children is often preceded by
