Keratometry [K1 (flat) and K2 (steep)], central corneal thickness (CCT), white-to-white (WTW), anterior-chamber-depth (ACD), lens-thickness (LT), and axial length were measured using both instruments. The repeatability for each device was analysed with the within-subject standard deviation (Sw), coefficient of variability, and coefficient of repeatability, and the agreement between the devices was analysed using a Bland\u2013Altman plot.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The acquisition success rate for both biometers was 100%. For K1 and K2, the Sw values were &amp;lt;0.15D and &amp;lt;0.2D, respectively using the two instruments. For CCT, WTW, ACD and LT, the values were 6.56\u202f\u03bcm, 0.05\u202fmm, 0.01\u202fmm and 0.01\u202fmm with the Argos, and 3.54\u202f\u03bcm, 0.07\u202fmm, 0.01\u202fmm and 0.01\u202fmm with the IOLMaster 700. The Sw values for axial length were 0.01 and 0.03\u202fmm for the Argos and IOLMaster 700, respectively. There were statistically significant differences between the two SS-OCT biometers for all the parameters evaluated (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f&amp;lt;\u202f0.001) except WTW (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u202f0.088).
