Abstract

Objective: To compare the outcomes of corneal tomography obtained with an anterior-to-posterior segment optical coherence tomography device (Revo, Optopol Technologies Sp. z o.o.) and a rotating Scheimpflug camera (Pentacam AXL, Oculus Optikgeräte, Wetzlar, Germany). Methods: In healthy subjects, agreement in stereometric parameters commonly used in cataract and refractive surgery was assessed. Comparison between the devices was performed using correlation coefficients, the Bland–Altman method, and a paired t test. Results: Results of right eyes of 78 patients (47 women) aged 25.24±5.56 years were analyzed. The flat and steep anterior keratometry values were significantly higher for Revo than Pentacam (43.65±1.58 D vs. 42.99±1.47 D; P = 0.000, and 44.53±1.57 D vs. 43.82±1.49 D; P=0.000, respectively) and showed excellent correlation (r=0.978 and 0.974, respectively). The results for maximal keratometry manifested a higher difference (45.89±1.69 D vs. 44.27±1.51 D for Revo and Pentacam, P=0.000) but were also strongly correlated (r=0.871). Revo showed significantly lower corneal thickness values than Pentacam, both for apex pachymetry (535.54±32.45 vs. 550.74±31.55 μm; P=0.000) and for thinnest pachymetry (522.58±32.16 vs. 547.25±31.95 μm; P=0.000). The correlation coefficients for anterior and posterior corneal elevation at the thinnest point showed weak positive correlation (r=0.179 and 0.185), while the correlation for corneal asphericity was moderate (r=0.317). Conclusions: There was a significant difference between keratometric values obtained with Revo and the Pentacam AXL, although the measurements showed excellent correlation. Similar results were found for corneal thickness measurements, but not for corneal surface elevation and corneal asphericity.
