ABSTRACT:
A keratometer in which at least three point sources of light in an area exceeding a semicircular area are projected onto the cornea of an eye to be examined and the center of an ellipse is specified on the basis of the position information of all the three cornea-reflected images and the shape of an ellipse linking the positions of the reflected images when the point sources of light exist on the circumference of the same circle is found to thereby measure the shape of the cornea of the eye to be examined.
