摘要: The aim of this study was to correlate central corneal thickness measurements obtained using optical as well ultrasound pachymeters and high-frequency biomicroscopy (UBM), assuming UBM reference. Each measurement performed on 32 patients (60 eyes) by three observers unaware the other's results, 3 different days. Pearson correlation used. A strong found between pachymetry (r=0.858), a weaker one (r=0.506). Optical versus were poorly correlated (r=0.540). statistically significant (p<0.001). can be used an accurate reproducible method for determining thickness.
