Sixteen patients who had never worn contact lenses underwent measurement of their central corneal thicknesses with the standard corneal pachometer and a new electronic corneal pachometer. Both instruments were able to produce repeatable and accurate results, although the overall measurements obtained were thicker with the electronic pachometer. The advantage of the electronic pachometer over the standard pachometer is that one is able to easily measure areas other than the central cornea with repeatable accuracy. With the addition of a microcomputer and print-out system, large populations can be studied, and changes in corneal thickness can be recorded on a day-to-day or hour-to-hour basis.
16名从未佩戴过隐形眼镜的患者使用标准角膜厚度测量仪和一种新型电子角膜厚度测量仪测量了中央角膜厚度。尽管使用电子角膜厚度测量仪获得的总体测量值更厚，但两种仪器都能够得出可重复且准确的结果。电子角膜厚度测量仪相对于标准角膜厚度测量仪的优势在于，它能够以可重复的精度轻松测量中央角膜以外的区域。通过增加一台微型计算机和打印系统，可以对大量人群进行研究，并能按日或按小时记录角膜厚度的变化。
