Purpose: To assess the agreement of central and paracentral corneal thickness measurements between ultrasound pachymetry (LISP), Orbscan II, and Visante anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT).Design: Observational cross-sectional study.Participants: Seventy eyes of 70 subjects.Methods. Each subject underwent Orbscan 11 (using an acoustic equivalent correction factor of 0.89), ASOCT, and LISP examination. Bland-Altman plots were used to evaluate agreement between instruments.Main Outcome Measures: Central and paracentral corneal thickness measurements by the 3 methods and agreement, as evaluated by 95% limits of agreement (LOA).Results: The mean measurements of average central corneal thickness by LISP, Orbscan 11, and ASOCT were 553.5 +/- 30.26 mu m, 553.22 +/- 25.47 mu m, and 538.79 +/- 26.22 mu m, respectively. There was high correlation between instruments: USP with ASOCT (r = 0.936, P
