How is CK performed?
•In
addition to a complete eye examination to be sure that the eye is
healthy, a pre-operative eye exam should also include these
measurements to give the surgeon the necessary information to
perform the procedure:
§Refractive
error measurement.
§Pupil
evaluation and measurement.
§Tonometry:
measurement of your eye’s intraocular pressure (fluid pressure
inside your eye).
§Corneal
topography: mapping the surface details of the cornea.
§Pachymetry:
measurement of corneal thickness.
A phoropter is used to measure refractive errors
