The purpose of this study is to evaluate the differences in central corneal thickness (CCT) measurements between RTVue-100 (Optovue, Inc, Fremont, CA), OCT Visante (AS-OCT Visante, Carl Zeiss Meditec Inc, Dublin, Calif) and ultrasound pachymetry (USP) in normal non-surgical eyes, myopic op astigmatic eyes without corneal corneal disease or topographic irregularity. A systematic search has revealed reports of clinical studies comparing central corneal thickness (CCT) measurements with RTVue, Visante and ultrasonic pachymetry. The search was done through the "Google Scholar" containing databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, magazines, etc. Two groups of eyes were analyzed. One compared RTVue and ultrasound and the other Visante and ultrasound. Twelve studies describing 965 eyes were recorded. RTVue results were -9.73 pm with a 95% confidence interval CI (-13.59, -5.88) lower than the ultrasound with a statistically significant difference (P <0.00001). Visante results were -9,13 pm with 95% CI (-12.18, -6.09) lower than the ultrasound with statistically significant difference (P <0.00001). This study proves that neither RTVue nor Visante can provide as accurate and same central corneal thickness as the ultrasonic pachymetry and therefore they are not interchangeable with each other. However, both RTVue and Visante have excellent repeatability and reproducibility, thus allowing us to assume that these measurements can be performed safely by different examiners and in different locations.
