Comparison of keratometry and white-to-white measurements obtained by Lenstar with those obtained by autokeratometry and corneal topography

2015 
Abstract Purpose To compare anterior eye segment measurements obtained using low optical coherence reflectometry (LENSTAR LS900, Haag-Streit), autokeratometry (RC-5000, Tomey) and corneal topography (Topolyzer, Wavelight). Methods In 46 healthy subjects, flat keratometry ( K f ), steep keratometry ( K s ), mean keratometry ( K m ) and white-to-white (WTW) distance were measured by Lenstar, Tomey RC-5000 and Topolyzer. Results K f and K m measurements of Lenstar were significantly steeper than Tomey RC-5000 (both p K f and K m measurements of Lenstar and Topolyzer, with a narrow 95% LoA. There were no significant differences between the K s measurements of Lenstar and Tomey RC-5000, and Lenstar and Topolyzer. A good agreement was found between them with 95% LoA of −0.40 to 0.56 D, and −0.56 to 0.64 D, respectively. WTW measurements with Lenstar were greater than those with Tomey RC-5000 and Topolyzer ( p  = 0.042, p Conclusions Generally good agreement was found between the Lenstar and Tomey RC-5000, Topolyzer for K and WTW measurements. In clinical practice, K and WTW measurements obtained by Lenstar and Tomey RC-5000, Topolyzer can be used interchangeably.
