 +To convert K readings to curvature in mm use this formula: 
 +$$r = \frac{337.5}{K}$$
 +
 +Where:
 +
 +  * **r** = radius of curvature (mm)
 +  * **K** = keratometry reading (diopters)
 +  * **337.5** = derived from the standard keratometric refractive index (n = 1.3375), where 337.5 = (1.3375 − 1) × 1000
