研究目的
To determine the repeatability and reproducibility of Central Corneal Thickness (CCT) measurements using two different anterior segment imaging modalities, including those obtained with the new anterior segment lens attachments for the Cirrus 5000 HD-OCT.
研究成果
CCT measurements from the Cirrus OCT using the new anterior segment lens attachments and the Pentacam HR are highly correlated. This should allow the use of a standardized correction factor if necessary to inter-relate the measurements between the two devices.
研究不足
The limitation of our study is the lack of evaluation of the inter-examiner repeatability. Future studies are required to explore the precision of the CCT measurements in eyes after refractive surgery and keratoconus eyes before and after collagen cross-linking treatment.
