Unreliable corneal thickness measurement is not just a minor error ; it's a significant risk. An overestimated reading can falsely qualify a high-risk patient for LASIK, potentially leading to corneal ectasia. Conversely, an underestimated measurement may mask true glaucoma pressure, allowing silent optic nerve damage.
In Turkey's leading ophthalmology clinics, pachymetry is never treated as a standalone check. It serves as the critical first data point in a comprehensive diagnostic workflow. Surgeons correlate pachymetry with corneal topography, biomechanics, and tonometry to answer one essential question: is this cornea structurally sound enough for intervention?
