Precorneal and Pre- and Postlens Tear Film Thickness Measured Indirectly with Optical Coherence Tomography
Abstract
PURPOSE: To demonstrate the feasibility of indirectly measuring the precorneal tear film thickness and pre- and postlens tear film (PLTF) thickness using optical coherence tomography (OCT).
METHODS: Central corneal thickness (C(1)) which includes the tear film (T) of both eyes of 40 non-contact lens wearers was measured using OCT after calibration. The mean age of the 40 subjects was 31.2 +/- 9.3 years with a mean horizontal K-reading of 7.87 …
