Poor agreement between Goldmann and Pascal tonometry in eyes with extreme pachymetry

To compare the intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements obtained using the Pascal dynamic contour tonometer (PDCT) with the standard Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) and to correlate them with the ...

Direct measurement of LASIK flap possible with femtosecond laser bubbles

The bubbles created during femtosecond laser flap creation can be used as an interface for direct pachymetry measurement of the flap’s thickness, according to one ophthalmologist. Rather than perform ...

Agreement of non-contact pachymetry after LASIK: comparison of combined scanning-slit/Placido disc topography and specular microscopy

To assess the interchangeability of central corneal thickness (CCT) measurements between combined scanning-slit/Placido disc topography (Orbscan-II) and specular microscopy (Topcon SP-2000P) in ...

Femtosecond astigmatic keratotomy before LASIK can be beneficial

Ultrasonic pachymetry was used to locate the thinnest part of the cornea in the 8-mm optical zone and steep meridian. Making use of the anterior side-cut component of the IntraLase enabled ...
