- Abstract
Jethani et al.[[4]] compared the K readings in children (age range 5-16 years) with manual separation of lids and wire speculum. Portable handheld keratometers are preferred in such cases under general anesthesia (GA)/sedation.[[1]] To use such an instrument, eyes need to be forcibly opened using hands/speculum, which can be an important aspect leading to errors. Dear Editor, An important component for precise intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation is accurate keratometry (K) readings.
