Espessura corneana mensurada pelo paquímetro ultra-sônico e pelo microscópio especular Topcon SP-2000P em gatos Corneal thickness measured by ultrasound pachymeter and by Topcon SP-2000P specular microscope Topcon SP-2000P in cats

Abstract

Avaliou-se a espessura corneana central de 13 gatos normais com microscópio especular de não-contato Topcon SP-2000P e paquímetro ultra-sônico. Foi observado aumento da espessura corneana mensurada pelo paquímetro ultra-sônico comparado ao microscópio especular.The central corneal thickness of 13 normal cats was evaluated by a Topcon SP-2000P noncontact specular microscope and by an ultrasonic pachymetry was evaluated. An increase on the corneal thickness measured by ultrasonic pachymetry as compared to the specular microscope was observed.
