Electroophthalmometer

Electroophthalmometers are devices designed to determine the refraction of the eye, as well as to measure the electrical activity of the retina. Refraction of the eye is the refraction of light rays as they pass through the eye. During an electroophthalmometry test, the patient looks through an eyepiece while electrodes are placed on the eyeball to record the electrical activity of the retina.

In ophthalmology, electroophthalmometry is used to diagnose various eye diseases, such as glaucoma, retinal dystrophy, optic nerve atrophy and others. Electroophthalmometry is also used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment of eye diseases.

Eye refraction can be determined using various methods, including skiascopy, autorefractometry, etc. However, electroophthalmometry is a more accurate method, since it allows you to measure not only the refraction of the eye, but also the electrical activity of the retina, which can be useful in diagnosing various diseases. In addition, electroophthalmometers can be used to measure intraocular pressure, which is also an important parameter for diagnosing eye diseases.
