PURPOSE: To evaluate the repeatability of the Galilei dual-Scheimpflug analyzer in measuring corneal curvature, wavefront aberrations, pachymetry, and anterior chamber depth (ACD).SETTING: Cullen Eye Institute, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA.METHODS: Three consecutive measurements were performed in 1 eye of each subject. The following were evaluated: (1) mean total corneal power at the central, paracentral, and peripheral zones (0.0 to 4.0 mm, 4.0 to 7.0 mm, and 7.0 to 8.0 mm, respectively) and posterior corneal power (K(avg)); (2) corneal higher-order wavefront aberrations (6.0 mm pupil); (3) mean pachymetry at the central, paracentral, and peripheral zones; and (4) ACD. Repeatability was assessed by calculating the within-subject standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation (COV), and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).RESULTS: The study enrolled 20 subjects. The SD was 0.09 diopter (D), 0.05 D, and 0.19 D for central, paracentral, and peripheral total corneal power, respectively, and 0.03 D for posterior K(avg). The COV ranged from 0.10% to 0.35%, and the ICC was 0.996 or more (P
