Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Among the possible variables responsible for systemic errors in the acquisition of pachometric measurements, the corneal hydration condition plays a determinant role. In the present study, the authors have investigated the importance of this condition with two different pachometers (Storz Corneoscan II and Allergan Humphrey), reproducing an experimental dehydrated condition. The main datum arising from the comparison of the measurements obtained is represented by the different time course of the value of the measurement in the two groups. In fact, confronting the medium initial superimposed thickness value in the two tables (521 vs. 520 μm) there is a substantial difference in the final examination. For the first group of 60 corneas, the thickness values appear almost identical in the different intervals of time (medium initial thickness 521 vs. 512 μm final thickness). For the group examined with the solid-point machine, a decreasing thickness equal to 7% was evidenced (520 vs. 482 μm) with a significant decrease in the corneal thickness after only 45 s.
