摘要: PURPOSE: We evaluated the reliability and agreement between Orbscan, an ultrasonic pachymeter (Humphrey 855), Konan SP 9000-LC in terms of central corneal thickness. The was also used to study endothelial cell density measures. METHODS: Twenty-five normal subjects were examined on two occasions (mean separation = 9 ± 5 days) by a single examiner using all three instruments for pachymetry. Center Method manual counting method performed examiners determine density. Reliability assessed calculating 95% limits (LoA) intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). RESULTS: For pachymetry test-retest reliability, -20 +17 µm ultrasound, -27 +22 Konan, -13 +13 Orbscan. There fair-to-good pachymeters (intraclass range 0.85 0.92). -498 +530, -482 +333 cells/mm 2 1 2, respectively. overlaid grid -355 +355, -535 +670 CONCLUSIONS: Orbscan good, although estimating fair, at best.
