Pachymetry - The advanced glaucoma prevention

During the preliminary investigation of glaucoma, the measurement of the intraocular pressure is an important part of the diagnosis of your glaucoma risk. The corneal thickness substantially affects the measurement result. Since the corneal thickness varies from person to person the measuremet was inaccurate so far.

Using pachymetry, we can accurately determine your corneal thickness today. That correction value, to which your eye pressure is corrected, is calculated from this figure. In this way we reach an accurate diagnosis.The non-contact examination is painless and without the use of eye drops.
