Abstract
Objective, noncontact measurement of central corneal thickness with the Pentacam Scheimpflug system and OLCR pachymeter was convenient and yielded excellent intraoperator repeatability and interoperator reproducibility. Central corneal thickness values obtained with the Pentacam were similar to those obtained with both the OLCR pachymeter and an US pachymeter. Further research is needed to corroborate whether central corneal thickness measurements by the Pentacam and OLCR devices can be used interchangeably and are more clinically useful than US pachymetry.
