Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Pachymetry is systematically used for the monitoring of corneal oedema, for the management and assessment of the progression risk of the ocular hypertension, for the diagnosis, the management and follow-up of keratoconus, as well as it is important in the pre and postoperative management of corneal surgical procedures. CCT is a factor well known to influence tonometry. Its assessment is fundamental in glaucoma practice to allow a correct intraocular pressure (IOP) evaluation.
The purpose of this study is to compare CCT measurements using four different instruments: Scheimpflug camera tomography, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), anterior chamber SD-OCT and ultrasound pachymetry.

Pachymetry
All recruited volunteers in present study, that underwent pachymetry measurement with four different instruments
Pachymetry
Healthy volunteers recruited among subject that underwent a routine ophthalmologic evaluation or among both students and workers at our clinic, will be submitted to CCT measurement through four different instruments: Scheimpflug camera tomography, SD-OCT, anterior chamber SD-OCT, and finally with US pachymeter.
