Comparison Between Ocular Biometric Parameters and Intraocular Pressure With and Without Contact Lenses. Eye Contact Lens. 2023;49(11):464-4701542-233Xhttp://hdl.handle.net/10347/33520Objectives: To compare the values of central corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), vitreous length (VL), axial length (AL), and corneal-compensated intraocular pressure performed with and without contact lenses (CL). Methods: Forty volunteer participants (16 men and 24 women, 24.262.9 years) were recruited. In a single visit, participants underwent autorefraction, keratometry, biometry, topography, pachymetry, and tonometry with the naked eye (without CL). Then, biometry, pachymetry, and tonometry were repeated twice wearing two CL (somofilcon A and nesofilcon A) fitted in a random order. Results: Many of the ocular biometric values were affected by the use of CL during measurements (paired t test; all P#0.003), except for LT and VL (Wilcoxon test; both P$0.272). Corneal-compensated intraocular pressure was also affected by contact lens wear during measurements, obtaining lower values when wearing them (Wilcoxon test; all P#0.001). Conclusions: Central corneal thickness, ACD, AL, and cornealcompensated intraocular pressure measurements cannot be performed while wearing CL. However, LT and VL measurements were not affected by any contact lens use. In addition, it was observed that ACD results from both devices are not interchangeable either when measured with the naked eye or using any contact lens.engAtribución-NoComercial-CompartirIgual 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/Contact lensesEchoScan US-800Intraocular pressureOcular biometryVisionix 120journal article10.1097/ICL.0000000000001030open access
