Corneal pachymetry is the process of measuring the thickness of the cornea using contact methods, such as ultrasound[1] and confocal microscopy (CONFOSCAN), or noncontact methods such as optical biometry with a single Scheimpflug camera (such as SIRIUS or PENTACAM), or a Dual Scheimpflug camera (such as GALILEI), or Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT, such as Visante) and online Optical Coherence Pachymetry (OCP, such as ORBSCAN). Corneal Pachymetry is particularly essential prior to a LASIK procedure for ensuring sufficient corneal thickness to prevent abnormal bulging out of the cornea, a side effect known as ectasia. The instrument used for this purpose is known as a pachymeter. Conventional pachymeters are devices that display the thickness of the cornea, usually in micrometres, when the ultrasonic transducer touches the cornea. Newer generations of ultrasonic pachymeters[2] work by way of Corneal Waveform (CWF)[3]. Using this technology the user can capture an ultra-high definition echogram of the cornea[4], somewhat like a corneal A-scan. Pachymetry using the corneal waveform process allows the user to more accurately measure the corneal thickness, verify the reliability of the measurements that were obtained, superimpose corneal waveforms to monitor changes in a patient's cornea over time, and measure structures within the cornea such as micro bubbles created during femto-second laser flap cuts.[5]
