Pachometry
The Pachometer is used to measure the thickness of your cornea as it relates to intraocular pressure. One indication of glaucoma is an elevation in the pressure of the eye caused by the increase of intraocular fluid.
During a regular eye exam your intraocular fluid pressure inside the eye is tested.
After calculating the thickness of your cornea with pachometer, we can better evaluate and make adjustments to your eye pressure.
