Corneal Pachymetry

Corneal pachymetry, measured using the Pachmate 2 ultrasound device, is used to screen patients for glaucoma or keratoconus and assess candidacy for refractive surgery.

Pachmate 2 optical device

Corneal pachymetry is the process of measuring the thickness of the cornea. A pachymeter is a medical device used to measure the thickness of your cornea. We use it primarily when screening patients for glaucoma or keratoconus but also for those considering refractive surgery.

​

We use an instrument called the Pachmate 2 which uses ultrasound and is globally recognised as the leading handheld tachymeter.
