Pachymetry Insights

What is Pachymetry?

Pachymetry is a medical technique used to measure the thickness of the cornea. It is commonly used in the diagnosis and management of various eye conditions, such as glaucoma, keratoconus, and corneal edema. Corneal thickness is an important factor in intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement, which is a key factor in the management of glaucoma. Pachymetry also helps in evaluating the suitability of patients for refractive surgery procedures like LASIK.

Pachymetry Complementary Technologies

Corneal Topography

Corneal topography measures the curvature of the cornea, which is complementary to pachymetry's measurement of corneal thickness. Both provide a more complete corneal assessment.

OCT

Optical Coherence Tomography can measure corneal thickness (central corneal thickness or CCT) and is therefore complementary to pachymetry.
