The purpose of this study was to investigate short-term variation and intra-subject repeatabil-ity of  human central corneal thickness (CCT) and axial anterior chamber depth (AACD) measure-ments obtained using the Oculus Pentacam. Forty consecutive images of the right eye of the anteriorsegment of 10 young and healthy individuals were measured with the Pentacam. Measurements of CCT and AACD were ob-tained from these images and means, standard deviations,variances and repeatability of the measurements were investigated. Both parameters (CCTand AACD) showed small variation with good orexcellent repeatability for all eyes. The inter-subject or overall means and standard deviations for CCT and AACD of the 10 right eyes were 0.555 ±0.05 millimeters (or 555 ± 50 microns) and 3.206± 0.04 millimeters, respectively. The individual or intra-subject averages for samples of CCT and AACD measurements are also provided in this paper. Univariate normality of the data was explored with Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Lilliefors and ShapiroWilks tests and we found that generally the data was normally distributed although there were some exceptions. Based on the results of this study, the Oculus Pentacam appears to provide repeatable and reliable measures for both CCT and AACD in young,normal eyes. Further research is, however, needed to determine short-term variation and repeatability of CCT and AACD with the Pentacam in more com-plicated eyes with, say, corneal scarring or ectasia or where refractive surgery may be an issue.

Repeatability of values is a crucial reliability index in any instrument used to measure ocular parameters. The purpose of this study was to investigate short-term variability of central corneal thickness (CCT) measurements in keratoconic eyes. The Tono-Pachymeter NT530P (Tonopachy™) was used to take fifty successive automatic measurements of CCT of the right eyes of ten keratoconic subjects(six females and four males), aged 19 to 41 years (mean = 30.4 ± 6.8 years). The means, standard deviations and variances of the measurements showed little variation with good repeatability. Theinter-subject or overall mean values and standard deviations of the measurements were 452.1 ± 30.3 μm. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S), Lilliefors and Shapiro-Wilks (S-W) tests showed that gener-ally the data was normally distributed, with a few exceptions. The results of this study suggest that over short periods of time, the Tonopachy™ provides repeatable measures of CCT in keratoconic corneas. (S Afr Optom 2012 71(3) 102-108)

Abstract Purpose: In this study the acute effects of 1 session of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on eye anterior segment morphology and on intraocular pressure was evaluated.Materials and methods: 30 patients taking hyperbaric oxygen therapy for different indications were included in this prospective study. Only the right eye per patient was included in the study. The refractive errors were measured with autorefractometry, intraocular pressures were measured with pneumatic tonometry; anterior segment parameters pachymetry, keratometry, anterior chamber depth and iridocorneal angle values were measured with corneal topography prior to and 24 hours after 1 session of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.Results: In this study 30 eyes from a total of 30 patients were evaluated; 19 men (% 64) and 11 women (% 36). Median age was 44.33 ±16.12 (Age range 18-80 years). Mean intraocular pressure was 13.7 ±4,16 mmHg (milimetermercuries), mean central corneal thickness was 531.9 ±28.24 μm, mean anterior chamber depth was 3.30 ±0.375 mm, mean iridocorneal angle value was 35.3± 6.61 degrees before hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The mean intraocular pressure was 12.66±4,54 mmHg, mean central corneal thickness was 529.43± 26.68 μm, mean anterior chamber depth was 3.28±0.372 mm, mean iridocorneal angle value was 34.5±6.42 degrees after HBOT. A statistically significant decrease in these values were recorded. No statistically significant changes were found in spheric equivalent and keratometry values of the patients before and after HBOT.Conclusions: After one session of HBOT a decrease in intraocular pressure, central corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth and iridocorneal angles of patients were observed; keratometry and spheric equivalent values remained unchanged. More studies are needed in order to use the effects of HBOT on anterior segment morphology and on intraocular pressure for situations like glaucoma, corneal edema etc.

Purpose: The aims of this study were to compare the biometric parameters and axial lengths of eyes with phacomorphic glaucoma and mature cataract and to identify differences that might predispose to development of phacomorphic glaucoma. Methods: Three hundred forty-two patients were enrolled in this retrospective study. The eyes were divided into four groups—Group (G)1: phacomorphic glaucoma ( n = 29), G2: mature cataract ( n = 313), G3: contralateral phacomorphic glaucoma ( n = 29), and G4: contralateral mature cataract ( n = 313). Central corneal thickness and anterior chamber depth were assessed by optical low-coherence reflectometry (Lenstar LS 900®; Haag-Streit AG, Switzerland), while axial length was determined by A-scan ultrasound biometry. Results: The mean central corneal thickness of G1 was significantly higher than in other groups ( p < 0.001) and the mean anterior chamber depth of G1 was the lowest among the groups ( p < 0.001). Also, G2 had lower mean anterior chamber depth than G4 ( p < 0.001) and G3 had lower mean anterior chamber depth than G4 ( p = 0.007). Anterior chamber depth less than 3.27 mm had the higher odds ratio for distinguishing G3 versus G4 (odds ratio = 10.79, p < 0.001). Furthermore, patients aged ⩾68.9 years had the higher odds ratio for distinguishing G1 versus G2 (odds ratio = 2.82, p = 0.019). There was no significant difference in the presence of pseudoexfoliation material between G1 and G2 ( p = 0.057). There were no significant differences in axial length values among the four groups ( p = 0.097). Conclusion: Advanced age and shallow anterior chamber depth were found to be risk factors for developing phacomorphic glaucoma, but the presence of pseudoexfoliation material was not found to play a role as a risk factor in phacomorphic glaucoma development.

Purpose:  To check inter observer reproducibility of axial ocular measurements i.e. central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD), aqueous depth (AD), lens thickness (LT), anterior segment lens (ASL), vitreous length (VL) and axial length (AL) with non-contact HAAG-STRAIT biometer. Study Design:  Comparative Reproducibility Analysis. Place and Duration of Study:  College of ophthalmology and allied vision sciences (COAVS), Mayo Hospital, Lahore. Methods:  This study included 66 healthy students (132 eyes). Data was collected through self-designed proforma by 2 operators independently. SPSS 21 was used for data analysis. Interclass correlation was applied for agreement between the two readings. Interclass coefficient (ICC) value greater than 0.7 was considered as excellent correlation. Results:  The mean CCT, AD, ACD, LT, ASL, VL, and AL were 526.47 ± 35.72 µm and 526.47 ± 36.06 µm (ICC = 0.92); 2.93 ± 0.29 mm and 2.93 ± 0.29 mm (ICC = 0.81); 3.45 ± 0.30 mm and 3.46 ± 0.30 mm (ICC = 0.79); 3.58 ± 0.28 mm and 3.56 ± 0.22 mm (ICC = 0.76); 7.03 ± 0.30 mm and 7.02 ± 0.27 mm (ICC = 0.80); 16.56 ± 0.85 mm and 16.62 ± 0.81 mm (ICC = 0.72); and 23.59 ± 0.85 mm and 23.64 ± 0.87 mm (ICC: 0.76) of observer 1 and 2, respectively. Conclusion:  Non-contact Biometer (HAAG-STRAIT) has high inter-observer reproducibility with strong interclass coefficient of greater than 0.72.
