Pachymetry
The
pachymeter is an instrument that measures the thickness of the cornea. It is useful in monitoring the progression of certain
disorders that cause the cornea to become thickened (or filled with water),
resulting in a loss of vision. Pachymetry
is also performed to determine whether the cornea is strong enough for
procedures such as LASIK.
