Description
Summary:First three readings were taken with Galilei dual Scheimpflug analyzer, with a gap of 1 minute. [...]significance level or p-value is 0.000 (table-II), which is well below the 0.05 cut-off value. Galilei measurements often had to be repeated because of an incorrect result caused by fixation loss, blinking, or incorrect head position. [...]this study was conducted in patients with normal corneas. [...]it may not be possible to generalize these findings to patients with corneal pathologies such as keratoconus.
