Abstract:

The corneal thickness parameter is one of the major examination data of the anterior segment. It is used in the diagnosis of ophthalmological diseases, and it is very important in pre-operative assessment for excimer laser refractive surgery. With the development from contact to non-contact measurements, the corneal thickness measurement becomes more and more accurate and secure. In this review, we summarized the recent advances of different corneal thickness measurements in the clinic.

Key words: Corneal thickness; Ultrasonic pachymetry; Optical pachymetry; Optical coherence tomography; Excimer laser
