Popis: Purpose: To compare and analyze the interchangeability of three measuring systems, each based on a different technique, for central corneal thickness (CCT) analysis. Methods: CCT measurements were measured using optical coherence tomography (OCT), non-contact specular microscopy (NCSM), and ultrasonic pachymetry (USP) in 60 eyes of 60 healthy patients with a mean age of 66.5 ± 15.0 years and a mean spherical equivalent of 0.43 ± 1.14 D. Analysis of variations in measurement concordance and correlation among the three different methods were performed. Comparison of CCT measurements were done using Bland–Altman plots (with bias and 95% confidence intervals), intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), and paired t-student analysis. Results: Mean CCT values were: 549.20 ± 26.91 μm for USP (range 503–618 μm), 514.20 ± 27.49 μm for NCSM (range 456–586 μm) and 542.80 ± 25.56 μm for OCT (range 486–605 μm). CCT values obtained with NCMS were significantly lower than those obtained with OCT and USP methods. NCMS CCT value was 36.08 ± 10.72 μm lower than USP value (p
