Critical to completing a safe LASIK procedure is precise measurements of the curves of the cornea. Keratometry refers to the measuring of these curves of the cornea. With these measurements, your LASIK surgeon can design a safe and effective protocol for your surgery.

Sugarland Eye & Laser Center is pleased to offer autokeratometry to our patients. Autokeratometry is the latest advancement in keratometry. Rather than relying on manual measurements which are prone to human error, autokeratometry is a computer controlled experience. The sophisticated optical system works with advanced computer programming to obtain the most accurate and precise measurements of corneal curvature. The results are verified by our surgeon before being used to designing a customized LASIK treatment pattern. With autokeratometry, LASIK patients can rest assured that their treatment is being designed around measurements that are not subject to human error.
