Zeiss Ophthalmometer

This Zeiss Ophthalmometer is a used precision keratometer built on the classic Zeiss optical bench design that has served refraction and contact lens fitting practices for decades. It measures the curvature of the anterior corneal surface, providing the diopter and radius readings that practitioners rely on for accurate contact lens fitting, astigmatism assessment, and pre-surgical evaluation. The instrument uses the traditional mires and doubling prism system that Zeiss engineered for high repeatability and fine focus control. Built with the durable mechanical construction typical of Zeiss ophthalmic instruments, this ophthalmometer offers a stable base, smooth joystick or knob control depending on configuration, and a well collimated optical path that produces crisp mire images even at extended working distances. It remains a favorite among optometrists and ophthalmologists who value manual keratometry for its precision and the tactile control it gives the examiner over alignment and endpoint determination. The unit is suited for general optometric practices, teaching clinics, and contact lens specialty offices that still depend on manual measurement as a cross check against automated devices. As a used instrument, this ophthalmometer shows normal signs of service life consistent with its age, and it is offered in good working condition ready to be integrated into an active exam lane. It is a practical, cost effective way for a practice to add or replace keratometry capability without the expense of a brand new automated system, and it continues to deliver the reliable corneal curvature data that clinicians have trusted from this line of instruments for generations.
