Anterior chamber depth measurement by optical pachymetry: systematic difference using the Haag‐Streit attachments

摘要

Background/aimHaag‐Streit recommends that for the most accurate anterior chamber depth (ACD) results, the corneal thickness, as determined with attachment No I, should be deducted from a measurement from corneal epithelium to the anterior lens surface, made with attachment No II (method A). Often ophthalmologists use the measurement made from the corneal endothelium to the anterior lens surface, using only attachment No II (method B), which is a simpler and faster method. This study examined agreement between methods A and B.
