Scanning-slit and Specular Microscopic Pachymetry in Comparison With Ultrasonic Determination of Corneal Thickness

Abstract

The results indicate that the devices tested cannot be simply used interchangeably. For long-term patient follow-up, one specific instrument is recommended. Recently developed pachymetry machines are especially helpful when additional corneal data such as thickness profile, elevation maps, anterior chamber depth, and endothelial morphology are required.
