Purpose:
Assessment of repeatability of Orbscan III in measuring steep keratometry (sKm), flat keratometry (fKm), thinnest corneal thickness (TCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD), white-to-white diameter (WTW) and 3 mm and 5 mm zonal irregularity in healthy eyes.
Methods:
In this prospective observatioanl study 100 eyes of 50 participants underwent three consecutive scans on Orbscan III by a single examiner with a gap of 5 minutes between scans. Statistical analysis was performed to assess the repeatability of sKm, fKm, TCT, WTW, ACD and parameters of 3- and 5 mm irregularity. Within subject standard deviation (Sw), coefficient of variation (CoV) and test retest variability (TRT) was calculated for the commonly used parameters.
Were The Main Outcome Measures.:
The repeatability of sKm, fKm, TCT, WTW, ACD, 3 mm and 5 mm zonal irregularity on Orbscan III.
Results:
Total of 50 patients (25 male and 25 female) who fulfilled inclusion and exclusion criteria were assessed. sKm, fKm, TCT and WTW were found to have a TRT of 0.31, 0.29. 21.5 and 0.27, respectively, and the ICC values were found to be over 0.9, denoting high repeatability. Repeat measurements of parameters of irregularity and ACD were found to be statistically similar, again denoting similarity between repeat measurements.
Conclusion:
Orbscan III provides repeatable measurements of Sim-k, anterior chamber depth, thinnest corneal thickness, 3 mm and 5 mm zonal irregularity and white-to-white diameter in healthy eyes.
