Pachymetry is a simple eye test that uses an instrument called a pachymeter to measure the thickness of the cornea, a clear protective layer of the eye. It is used as a screening test for people who are suspected of developing glaucoma. This test generally takes less than 30 seconds per eye to evaluate the corneal thickness.
