Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 40 eyes of 40 individuals were examined. ACD was defined as the axial-length between corneal epithelium and anterior surface of lens. ICA was defined as the angle between posterior surface of cornea and the anterior surface of iris, with the trabecular mesh being top of the angle. The values of ACD and ICA were compared.
Results: The mean ACD and ICA measurements were similar between two devices (ACD; 3.34±0.66 mm vs. 3.27±0.60 mm; p=0.211; ICA; 41.55±6.69º vs. 41.50±6.47º, p=0.860). ACD and ICA were found to be correlated with each other (p <0.001, r = 0.851 for ACD and p <0.001, r = 0.964 for ICA).
Conclusion: Both devices give the similar values of ACD and ICA in healthy individuals.
