Research progress of corneal thickness measurement

The thickness of the central cornea has an important influence on various eye diseases and operations such as keratoconus and other corneal diseases, glaucoma, and corneal refractive surgery. Obtaining accurate central corneal thickness is a topic that clinicians have been paying close attention to....

It decides the operation method and operation parameters(cutting depth, cutting optical area size, etc.)of refractive surgery. Accurate measurement of central corneal thickness is a great concern to clinicians.
