Comparison of ultrasonic pachymetry, with a new optical biometry and tono-pachymetry
The aim of this study was to compare the measurements of central corneal thickness (CCT) using the CT-1P tonopachymetry and AL-Scan optical biometry with those obtained with ultrasound (US) pachymetry. In this prospective study, CCTs were measured in 100
