Two observers measured each eye twice. Intraobserver and interobserver reproducibility were determined and agreement among the devices calculated.Results: CCT was measured in 40 eyes of 29 patients. Regardless of the CCT, the measurements obtained using Visante OCT, Cirrus CCT, and ultrasound pachymetry were well correlated. Interobserver and intraobserver reproducibility were high among the three devices. Pentacam overestimated the results compared with the other devices, and ultrasound pachymetry was unmeasurable in six (13%) eyes with very thick and opaque corneas. In eyes with mild corneal edema (CCT 551–650 μm), measurements from the four devices were comparable.Conclusion: All devices reliably measured the CCT <650 μm. In eyes with edema exceeding 650 μm, CCT measurements from the Visante OCT, Cirrus OCT, and ultrasound pachymetry devices showed good reproducibility and were well correlated, while the Pentacam overestimated the values compared to the other devices. Pentacam and ultrasound pachymetry should not be used in eyes with extreme corneal edema and opacity.Keywords: central corneal thickness, ultrasonography, optical coherence tomography, Scheimpflug camera tomographyWongchaisuwat NMetheetrairut AChonpimai PNujoi WPrabhasawat PDove Medical Pressarticlecentral corneal thicknessultrasonographyoptical coherence tomographyScheimpflug camera tomographyOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 12, Pp 1865-1873 (2018)
