What is the radius of curvature of the patients cornea

Reference no: EM13486981

When a patient is being fitted with contact lenses, the curvature of the patient's cornea is measured with an instrument known as a keratometer. A lighted object is held near the eye, and the keratometer measures the magnification of the image formed by reflection from the front of the cornea. If an object is held 11.5 cm in front of a patient's eye, and the ratio of the height of the reflected image to that of the object is 0.025, what is the radius of curvature of the patient's cornea?
