When diagnosing various eye problems, including glaucoma, Ultrasound Pachymetry allows us to better prescribe a course of treatment.
When measuring the pressure of the eye for glaucoma, many measurements are inaccurate because the front surface of the eye, or the cornea, is thicker or thinner than normal.
Pachymetry, or the measurement of the thickness of the cornea is an integral part of the Glaucoma examination.
Thin corneas alone, regardless of the eye pressure, have also been found much more often in people with glaucoma.
