영문 초록

Purpose: To compare corneal pachymetry assessment using four measurement methods in normal and post-femtosecond laserassisted LASIK eyes. Methods: Central corneal thickness was measured sequentially using Orbscan II, Pentacam, Galilei and ultrasonic pachymetry in 30 normal, non-surgical eyes (Group I), 30 eyes one to six months after femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK (Group II), and 30 eyes six months or longer after femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK (Group III). Results: In Group I, corneal thickness measurements were similar for all four methods (P=0.202, one way ANOVA). In Groups II and III, corneal thickness measurements were significantly different (P=0.000, respectively, one way ANOVA). Compared to the Pentacam, Galilei and ultrasonic pachymetry, Orbscan significantly underestimated the corneal thicknesses in Groups II and III (P＜0.005, respectively, one way ANOVA). Conclusions: Central corneal thicknesses of normal eyes were similar for all four measurements, therefore corneal thickness measurements before refractive surgery using all four measurements is suitable. However measurements obtained with the Orbscan II were thinner than those obtained with the Pentacam, Galilei or ultrasonic pachymetry in post femtosecond laserassisted LASIK eyes. Further studies are needed to determine which instrument is more accurate in measuring central corneal thickness before and after refractive surgery. J Korean Ophthalmol Soc 2010;51(3):320-327
