Two groups of subjects were included: (1) normal subjects with no history of ophthalmic surgery, corneal diseases, and topical antiglaucoma medication uses; and (2) subjects with corneal diseases including dry eye syndrome, recurrent corneal erosion, pterygium, and others. A total of 57 eyes of 57 normal subjects and 106 eyes of 76 patients with corneal disease were included. ETM was analyzed in 25 zones (one zone within 0\u20132 mm diameter, eight zones within 2\u20135 mm diameter, eight zones within 5\u20137 mm diameter, and eight zones within 7\u20139 mm diameter). Repeatability was evaluated by calculating intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), coefficient of variation (CoV), within-subject standard deviation (Sw), and Bland-Altman plot.Results: Among a total of 25 sectors, the normal eyes showed high repeatability (ICC, &gt;0.75; CoV, 2.160%\u20135.292%; Sw, 0.760\u2013 1.653 \u03bcm) in 23 sectors, and corneal diseases patients also showed high repeatability (ICC, &gt;0.75; CoV, 4.167%\u20139.606%; Sw, 1.298\u20133.340 \u03bcm) in 22 sectors. However, the wide range of 95% limit of agreement width of Bland-Altman plot presented in corneal disease group and some peripheral zones in normal eyes indicates some variability of CET measurements.Conclusions: Except for a few peripheral sectors, ETM of Cirrus OCT provides repeatable CET measurements in normal eyes; however in corneal disease group, repeatability was not consistently high. To measure CET accurately, performing multiple measurements is advised especially in patients with corneal disease and patients in whom peripheral CET values.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3341\/kjo.2024.0115","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,22]],"date-time":"2024-10-22T06:59:28Z","timestamp":1729580368000},"page":"496-506","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3341\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Repeatability
