Digitalized ultrasound biomicroscopic measurements of vertical cross sections from a 5 mm diameter area of the central cornea of normal and morbid eyes were used to create a computerized corneal thickness map. Mean corneal thickness in normal eyes was 0.503 +/- 0.027 mm; the coefficient of variation, an index of reproducibility, was10% in all eyes.
