Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlations and consistency among the central corneal thickness (CCT) of healthy myopic patients measured with three different anterior segment analysis systems.
Design
This was a retrospective study. The study included myopia patients who had undergone preoperative examinations in the refractive surgery department of our hospital between January 2021 and December 2023. The CCT was measured separately using Pentacam, Sirius, and IOLMaster 700.
Methods
Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS software. Correlations among the three groups of measured values were assessed using the Pearson method, and a simple scatter plot and fitting line were drawn. Bland‒Altman scatter plots and 95 % limits of agreement (LoAs) were used to evaluate consistency in the data among the systems.
Results
A total of 269 patients participated in the study, including 134 males (49.8 %) and 135 females (50.2 %). The CCT measurements by Pentacam, Sirius, and IOLMaster 700 instruments were found to be 541.63 ± 31.67 μm, 541.74 ± 33.36 μm, and 548.90 ± 34.19 μm respectively; significant differences were observed among these measurements (p < 0.05). Significant differences were also observed in CCT between Pentacam and IOLMaster 700 as well as between Sirius and IOLMaster 700 (p < 0.05). The CCT measurements by all three devices showed high positive correlation with all p values less than 0.001: Pentacam and Sirius, r = 0.972; Pentacam and IOLMaster 700, r = 0.966; and Sirius and IOLMaster 700, r = 0.962. The respective 95 % LoAs were -0.18∼0.18; -1.51∼-1.11; and -1.52∼-1.
Conclusion
The results indicate that there is a high correlation in measuring CCT for healthy myopic eyes using three different anterior segment analysis systems. However, the differences in the values measured by the three devices were statistically significant. Therefore, in actual clinical practice, it is suggested that the same device should be used to measure and evaluate the CCT across visits.
