Comparación de los valores del espesor corneal central según los equipos Lenstar, Galilei y Pentacam

objective: to compare the central corneal thickness measurements taken by pachimetry with the partial coherence interferometry, lenstar and with scheimpflug systems (pentacam; oculus) and galilei (ziemer, switzerland). methods: comparative and prospective study of 120 eyes from 60 patients. several recommended measurements were taken with the optical biometers lenstarls 900 (haag streit ag) and with pentacam y galilei topographers. the results were evaluated using the linear regresión analysis and pearson′s correlation. results: there is high correlation among the central corneal thickness measurements taken by the lenstar equipment and topographers pentacam and galilei. conclusion: the new biometer lenstar provided results that correlated very well with those of the pentacam and galilei systems. the lenstar is a precise device that will be helpful for any cataract or refractive surgery.
