Aim : Comparison between OCT and ultrasound pachymetry for central corneal thickness measurement.
Methods: After obtaining ethical committee permission we enrolled prospective cohort of normal subjects ,anterior and posterior segment examination was done. Central corneal thickness measurements were evaluated with ultrasound pachymetry and OCT .Data recorded in excel sheet exported and analysis by cross tabulation by SPSS22.
Result: 101 eyes of 50 female ,51 male subjects with mean age 24.84 ± 7.02 years were recruited in this study. Mean central corneal thickness with ultrasound pachymetry was 531.33 ± 76.3µ while mean central corneal thickness with OCT was 519.36 ± 75.76µ.We found that central corneal thickness measurements obtained with ultrasound pachymetry were statistically higher than with OCT(p<0.05). Conclusion: Central corneal thickness measured by ultrasound pachymetry was significantly different than measured by OCT
