Excimer laser surgery method of central corneal thickness and non-contact tonometer measurements. The results of excimer laser surgery lead to central corneal thickness and corneal curvature changes, affecting intraocular pressure measurements. Conclusions In the absence of a more comprehensive introduction before the tonometer, NCT in excimer corneal refractive surgery to monitor intraocular pressure before and after the change remains an important reference value. LASIK is by cutting the central cornea, to change the refractive status of myopic eye surgery. CCT after cutting the value of doubt over the value of preoperative CCT decreased. Based on the relationship between CCT values and αP speculation, LASIK because of its central corneal thickness after the reduction will be measured to demonstrate the value of αP low, resulting in lower than the true intraocular pressure intraocular pressure measurement values. In other words, the laser cutting of the corneal stroma of the role of reduced corneal thickness and central corneal zone thereby reducing the hardness of central corneal area prone to sag, flattening of the low-tension illusion. This inference has been confirmed many institutes. 1 General Information 1.1 Tuunanen et al [1] reported in animal studies found that the actual intraocular pressure in rabbit eyes there is no decline in the value of indirect measurement of intraocular pressure is low, indicating that post-LASIK intraocular pressure readings dropped just a phenomenon, the actual intraocular pressure is not change.
