ophthalmometer
An instrument for measuring the reflection of an image on the surface of the cornea and other capacities of the eye; used primarily for determining the presence and degree of astigmatism (visual impairment in which part of an image is blurred, due to an irregularity in the curvature of the front surface of the eye, the cornea).
