The Clinical Study to Assess the Corneal Thickness by Using Pachymetry in Various Types of Refractive Errors in Age Group (10 - 40 Yrs.)

Abstract

BACKGROUNDThe purpose of the study is to measure the corneal thickness in various refractive errors in the age groups 10 -40 yrs. by using ultrasonic pachymetry and to analyse corneal thickness measured in various refractive errors. The study was conducted in Govt. Dharmapuri Medical College Hospital. The patients attending the Eye Outpatient Department for defective vision due to refractive error were subjected for corneal thickness measurement using ultrasonic pachymetry.
