Following diagnosis of KC by slit-lamp biomicroscopic examination, central corneal thickness(CCT), thinnest corneal thickness(TCT), anterior chamber depth(ACD),and pupil diameter(PD) were measured by a single examiner using successive instrumentation by Pentacam and Orbscan.RESULTS: There was no significant difference between the two instruments for the measurement of CCT and TCT. In contrast, scanning-slit topography measured ACD(3.46±0.40 mm vs 3.38±0.33 mm, P =0.019) and PD(4.97 ±1.26 mm vs 4.08 ±1.19 mm, P 【0.001) significantly larger than rotating Scheimpflug camera.The two devices made similar measurements for CCT(95% CI:-2.94 to5.06, P =0.602). However, the mean difference for TCT was-6.28(95% CI:-10.51 to-2.06, P =0.004) showing a thinner measurement by Orbscan than by Pentacam. In terms of the ACD, the mean difference was 0.08 mm(95%CI: 0.04 to 0.12, P 【0.001) with Orbscan giving a slightly larger value than Pentacam. Similarly, Orbscan measurement for PD was longer than Pentacam(95% CI:0.68 to 1.08, P 【0.001).CONCLUSION: A good agreement was found between Pentacam and Orbscan concerning CCT measurement while comparing scanning-slit topography and rotatingScheimpflug camera there was an underestimation for TCT and overestimation for ACD and PD.展开更多
