Corneal pachymetry
A typical ultrasound pachymeter
Corneal pachymetry is the process of measuring the thickness of the cornea. A pachymeter is a medical device used to measure the thickness of the eye's cornea. It is used to perform corneal pachymetry prior to refractive surgery, for Keratoconus screening, LRI surgery[1] and is useful in screening for patients suspected of developing glaucoma among other uses.
