Abstract
Conclusions Results suggest that whereas Pentacam CES and UP may be used interchangeably in normal eyes in the clinical setting for the measurement of CCT, one should be cautious interpreting corneal thickness data from Pentacam CES, UP, and particularly SM in eyes with keratoconus. Whereas, in normal and mildly keratoconic eyes, Pentacam CES and UP demonstrated very high and comparable reproducibility, in moderately keratoconic eyes, Pentacam CES readings showed better reproducibility than UP.Keywords
