AS-OCT measures thicker corneal epithelial thickness than in vivo confocal microscopy

Researchers who used anterior segment OCT and in vivo confocal microscopy to measure epithelial thickness found the limbal epithelial thickness values were consistent between the two devices while differences were seen in corneal epithelial thickness values. The researchers performed AS-OCT before IVCM on 38 subjects who underwent routine ocular examinations to rule out ocular abnormalities except ametropia. The right eye of each subject was examined by AS-OCT and IVCM.
