By using the corneal pachymetry the surgeon will reduce the chances of perforation of the eye and improves surgical outcome.

Newer generations of pachymeters will help surgeons by providing graphical surgical plans to eliminate astigmatism.

Newer generation pachymeters have the ability to adjust the intraocular pressure that is measured according to the corneal thickness.

The ultrasonic Pachymeters traditionally have been devices that provide the thickness of the human cornea in the form of a number in micrometres that is displayed to the user.

Using this technology the user can capture an ultra high definition echogram of cornea, think of it as a corneal A-scan.
