The study included 21 patients (42 eyes) with myopia: mild myopia ― 7 people (14 eyes), moderate ― 8 people (16 eyes), and high ― 7 patients (14 eyes). The analysis of pachymetric and biometric data obtained by various methods in myopic patients showed no statistically significant difference between the measurements (t<2.0; p>0.05). The research results are comparable with each other, correct and can be used interchangeably in clinical practice.

Key words: myopia, pachymetry, corneal biometry.
