To evaluate central corneal thickness (CCT) and corneal volume (CV) in healthy eyes using swept source anterior segment optical coherence tomography (SS-AS-OCT) and other devices.
Thirty-three healthy right eyes of 33 subjects were investigated. CCT was measured with SS-AS-OCT, rotating Scheimpflug camera, ultrasonic pachymetry and specular microscopy. CV was determined within a diameter of 10 mm at the center using SS-AS-OCT and Scheimpflug camera.
Mean CCT was 523.5 ± 25.2 μm by SS-AS-OCT, 523.9 ± 26.1 μm by Scheimpflug camera, 532.1 ± 26.6 μm by ultrasonic pachymetry, and 525.5 ± 33.5 μm by specular microscopy. The CCTs measured with SS-AS-OCT, Scheimpflug camera and specular microscopy were significantly thinner than those measured with ultrasonic pachymeter (p < 0.001). The mean CV within a diameter of 10 mm at the center was 57.2 ± 3.0 mm(3) by SS-AS-OCT and 59.4 ± 2.9 mm(3) by Scheimpflug camera. Scheimpflug measurements of CV were statistically larger than SS-AS-OCT measurements (p = 0.0008). Statistically significant correlation was found between the CCT and CV measurements of each imaging devices (p < 0.0001, r = 0.527, and p < 0.0001, r = 0.749, respectively).
SS-AS-OCT enables the measurements of CCT and CV, demonstrating agreement with other devices. CV in addition to CCT measurement may serve as a practical parameter of the corneal endothelial pump function.
使用扫频源眼前节光学相干断层扫描(SS-AS-OCT)和其他设备评估健康眼睛的中央角膜厚度(CCT)和角膜体积(CV)。
对 33 名受试者的 33 只右眼进行了研究。使用 SS-AS-OCT、旋转式 Scheimpflug 相机、超声角膜测厚仪和共焦显微镜测量 CCT。使用 SS-AS-OCT 和 Scheimpflug 相机在中心直径 10mm 范围内确定 CV。
SS-AS-OCT 测量的平均 CCT 为 523.5±25.2μm,Scheimpflug 相机为 523.9±26.1μm,超声角膜测厚仪为 532.1±26.6μm,共焦显微镜为 525.5±33.5μm。SS-AS-OCT、Scheimpflug 相机和共焦显微镜测量的 CCT 明显比超声角膜测厚仪测量的 CCT 薄(p<0.001)。中心直径 10mm 范围内的平均 CV 为 SS-AS-OCT 为 57.2±3.0mm(3),Scheimpflug 相机为 59.4±2.9mm(3)。Scheimpflug 测量的 CV 明显大于 SS-AS-OCT 测量的 CV(p=0.0008)。各成像设备的 CCT 和 CV 测量值之间存在显著相关性(p<0.0001,r=0.527,p<0.0001,r=0.749)。
SS-AS-OCT 可测量 CCT 和 CV,与其他设备具有一致性。除 CCT 测量外,CV 还可作为角膜内皮泵功能的实用参数。
