Materials and Methods: The study included 50 healthy consecutively selected individuals without ocular or systemic disease. CCT was first measured using OCT, and then using ultrasonic pachymetry. Results: Mean age of the participants was 31.44 years. Mean CCT measured using SD-OCT was 531.78 µm versus 535.15 µm by ultrasonic pachymetry. Mean CCT measurement obtained by Cirrus SD-OCT showed statistically significant difference by approximately 3.37 µm than the one obtained by ultrasonic pachymetry (t-test, p<0.05); however, Bland-Altman analysis proved that there was high concordance between the measurements. Conclusion: CCT measurements obtained by Cirrus SD-OCT were very similar to those obtained by ultrasonic pachymetry, and as such we think that Cirrus SD-OCT can be used in our present ophthalmology practice to measure OCT.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCentral corneal thicknessSpectral domain optical coherence tomographyUltrasonic pachymetryArticle44425926210.4274/tjo.94834
