Where pachymeter are Used?

Pachymetry is a special technique widely used in ophthalmology for diagnosing the cornea issues. Using special ophthalmology equipment, doctors conduct the necessary measurements of its thickness and also assess the overall corneal condition. Such kind of diagnostics is an integral part of eye examination, without which it would be difficult to make an accurate diagnosis and start pathologies treatment.

Examinations of this type are very important not only for diagnostics but also for preoperative measures during laser surgery. To conduct pachymetry, the patient is asked to lie on a couch, and then, local anesthesia is conducted. Using a pachymeter, a doctor calculates the corneal thickness.

To avoid injury, a specialist touches the eye with the device very slightly, minimizing the pressure on it. After the procedure, all the data received is displayed on the monitor. The diagnostic procedure is completed by using antibacterial eye drops.

Types of pachymeter

The main operation principle of the device is ultrasound or optics utilization. The device accurately identifies even subtle inconsistencies in the corneal thickness.

There are two types of ophthalmic instruments on the market:

  1. Optical pachymeters. They look like special nozzles, used for slit lamps. They consist of two plane-parallel plates, located one above the other. The lower plate is fixed, and the upper one rotates. The corneal thickness is measured using a chart which is located on the nozzle’s handle.

  2. Ultrasound devices. This type of pachymeter is considered to be more simple and convenient to use. Equipped with a touch screen, it may trace different errors and have adjustable operating frequency parameters. The data received is displayed on the monitor and, if necessary, printed.

They have not been used in clinical practice but they have been often presented at exhibitions. As a result, the pachymeter price is lower. Refurbished machines are used machines that have undergone improvements (refurbishment can be done at the manufacturer’s facilities or in private repair shops)
