Corneal Waveform technology is the technology used in the newer generation pachymeters^[1][2] to capture echogram of the cornea, think of it as ultrasound A scan of the cornea. Pachymeters traditionally provide the thickness of the human cornea in form of a number that is displayed to the user, the new generation of pachymeters give the user the ability to display, store, recall, analyze and superimpose corneal waveforms. The advantages of this over conventional pachymetry is that the user is now able to more accurately measure the corneal thickness, measure changes in corneal thickness overtime, and measure structures within the cornea such as micro bubbles that are generated by the Femtosecond laser during LASIK.
