CORNEAL THICKNESS AND DIAMETER IN THE DOMESTIC CAT

Abstract
Abstract— Two sample groups of domestic cats were assessed for (a) central corneal thickness (17 eyes), using optical pachymetry, and (b) horizontal and vertical corneal diameter, using a photographic method (20 eyes). The average corneal thickness was 0.755 _+ 0.33 mm. The mean horizontal diameter was 16.5 ‐/+ 0.60 mm and the mean vertical diameter was 16.2 2‐/+ 0.61 mm. The horizontal corneal diameter was significantly greater than the vertical corneal diameter (p < 0.001, paired t test).
