I think pachymetry now needs to be considered in a screening environment and the Pachmate is the excellent tool to accomplish these aims.

I have used DGH pachymeters for five years and have found them to be reliable and accurate. The pachymeter in my clinic is used around-the-clock on patients that either have glaucoma or are glaucoma suspects, and we have not had a problem with an instrument. The DGH pachymeter is simple and easy to use, and the Pachette 2 with the standard deviation feature allows one to assess the quality of the data collected. We take multiple readings (25) within seconds, with the mean and Standard Deviation measurements appearing instantaneously. The pachymeter provides an important piece of clinical information, and I often wonder how I practiced before I incorporated pachymetry into our glaucoma examinations.

Dear Sirs;
I have had my new Pachmate DGH-55 for only a few weeks now. I already have found that this instrument has been of great help in many various diagnosis decisions. It has been helpful to confirm diagnosis kerataconus (thinner cornea); corneal edema, and of course the ocular hypertension versus glaucoma patient. It is so easy to use that I decided to use it on most a patients to help me to become proficient in using the instrument and to give a baseline measurement for future references. I have found that when I know the thickness of the cornea and the Goldman Tonometer reading, I can know for sure as to what is the true IOP. Along with optic nerve assessment and visual fields I have more confidence in my diagnosis.
I enjoy the ease of operation of this instrument... It is also an easy and reliable instrument for a technician to use. The patients are truly impressed with this new technology that this old country doctor can provide.
Sincerely,

Our purchase was influenced strongly by the publication of the ORTS.
I can tell you that among our glaucoma suspects and normal-tension patients the results of central corneal thickness measurements have been decisive in many cases. The value of this instrument in clinical management of such patients is invaluable.
We have found the instrument easy to operate and I have found that interns can learn to calibrate and use it quickly. Additionally, accuracy appears to be great. Given these two attributes, we are pleased to add this diagnostic implement to our patient care armamentarium.
Thank you for including me among the leaders in eye care.
Sincerely,
