Background: To evaluate the agreement in intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements by Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) and Tono-Pen XL (TXL) with the Goldmann Applanation Tonometer (GAT) and to examine corneal biomechanical properties in aphakic glaucoma patients with a central corneal thickness (CCT) >600 µ. Methods: Thirty-six eyes of aphakic glaucoma patients (group 1) and 40 eyes of normal chil...

purpose: to examine the relationship between retinal nerve fiber layer (rnfl) measurements obtained using scanning laser polarimetry with variable corneal compensation (vcc) and central corneal thickness (cct) measurements using pentacam in myopic patients methods: the study included 45 eyes from 45 myopic patients with intraocular pressure (iop) measurements≤21 mmhg. all participants had norma...

Purpose To study the variations in corneal clinical biomechanical parameters (CCBP) and corneal geometrical parameters of rabbit in relation to age. Methods Rabbits aged 3, 7, 12, 18, and 24 months were enrolled. Each eye of the rabbits was tested with Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA), Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), and Pachymeter to obtain the intraocular pressure (IOP): Goldmann-correlat...

AIMS To compare central corneal thickness measurements of three pachymetry devices in eyes after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). METHODS Central corneal thickness was measured in 203 eyes after myopic LASIK. Orbscan II scanning slit topography (Bausch & Lomb), SP-2000P non-contact specular microscopy (Topcon), and ultrasonic pachymetry (Tomey) were used in this sequence. RESULTS Three...

PURPOSE To examine the relationship of diabetes and hyperglycemia with central corneal thickness (CCT) in Malay adults in Singapore. DESIGN Population-based cross-sectional study. PARTICIPANTS Three thousand two hundred eighty Malay adults ages 40-80 years living in Singapore. METHODS The study population was selected using an age-stratified random sampling procedure of Malay 40- to 80-ye...

PURPOSE To study changes in flap thickness made with two different microkeratome heads across different corneal locations using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS In this prospective, non-randomized, consecutive case series, subjects who had their laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) flaps made using 90 μm (MSU90) or 130 μm (MSU130) disposable M2 microkeratome heads ...

Purpose The purpose of this study was to clarify correlations between corneal deformation parameters measured with a dynamic Scheimpflug analyzer and baseline factors such as axial length, intraocular pressure (IOP), age, central corneal thickness (CCT), and corneal curvature. Methods Ninety-six eyes of 96 healthy subjects (mean 55.2 ± 16.1 years of age) were examined using a dynamic Scheimpf...

PURPOSE To compare corneal thickness measurements using Pentacam (Oculus, Germany), Sirius (CSO, Italy), Galilei (Ziemer, Switzerland), and RTVue-100 OCT (Optovue Inc., USA). METHODS Sixty-six eyes of 66 healthy volunteers were enrolled. Three consecutive measurements were performed with each device. The mean value of the three measurements was used for subsequent analysis. Central corneal th...

PURPOSE To examine the interrelationships among the Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA; Reichert Ophthalmic Instruments, Buffalo, NY), Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT), and corneal geometry measurements in a young, healthy sample. METHODS Central corneal radius, ORA, GAT, and central corneal thickness (CCT) measurements were taken in 99 subjects (age, 21 ± 2 years) who were free of ocular and ...
