Pachymetry measures corneal thickness in microns. This information is crucial for two reasons: first, in laser refractive surgery, the surgeon needs to know if there is enough corneal tissue to reshape and correct myopia. Second, very thin corneas can give falsely low intraocular pressure readings (masking glaucoma), while thick corneas can give falsely high readings.
