A short song describing the importance of pachymetry measurements of the cornea in terms of IOP/glaucoma measurements, Fuchs' Dystrophy, and suitability of LASIK surgery.
'CCT is one parameter which influences the accuracy of most tonometers. In eyes with thin corneas IOP tends to be underestimated. Thinner CCT is associated with a higher risk of conversion of ocular hypertension (OHT) to glaucoma and a higher risk of glaucoma progression in multiple variable models. However there is no strong evidence that CCT is an independent risk factor. IOP correction algorithms based on CCT are not validated and should be avoided.'

As a new opthalmetric tech, the practice is going to fire me blasting this in my exam lanes.
Just finished ophthobook and it was amazing TBH, looking forward to reading ophthobook questions but I can't afford it 😭
Thanks for another great video!!
Thanks sir from long time
😂😂😂 Great video!

Omg😂❤

AI is getting out of hand!
Indeed, it's getting nuts.
