Corneal Diagnostics

Pachymetry in Mumbai


Our hospital in Mumbai is equipped with a Pachymeter, an essential device for measuring corneal thickness. This non-invasive tool provides our experienced ophthalmologists with accurate and reliable measurements of the cornea’s thickness, a critical parameter in diagnosing and managing various eye conditions.

The Pachymeter utilizes ultrasound technology to determine corneal thickness, helping our ophthalmologists assess:

  • Glaucoma Risk: Thinner corneas can give false low pressure readings, masking glaucoma.
  • LASIK Candidacy: Ensuring you have enough corneal tissue for safe laser vision correction.
  • Corneal Swelling: Monitoring conditions like Fuch's Dystrophy.

With its quick and painless examination process, the Pachymeter offers our patients a comfortable experience during the evaluation. This valuable device serves as an integral part of our comprehensive eye care services in Mumbai.

FAQ: Pachymetry Test

Pachymetry is a simple test that measures the thickness of your cornea (the clear front window of the eye). It takes just a minute to perform.

Eye pressure readings can be influenced by corneal thickness. If you have a thin cornea, your pressure reading might appear lower than it actually is, potentially hiding Glaucoma. Pachymetry helps us adjust the reading for accuracy.

Yes, absolutely. LASIK involves reshaping the cornea by removing a tiny amount of tissue. We must ensure your cornea is thick enough to withstand the procedure safely to prevent future complications.
