Abstract: A depth detection apparatus, in particular in intracorneal dissection, provides a perforating tubular element suitable for being inserted into the cornea, a reciprocally moving air volume generator (14) connected to the perforating tubular element, a pressure sensor for detecting the pressure along the connection between the volumetric generator and the perforating element in the reciprocal movement of the volumetric generator, a microcontroller connected to the pressure sensor to detect pressure variations with the depth advancement into the cornea of the perforating element, a signaller connected to the microcontroller to signal that a preset pressure variation has been reached. The apparatus enables a correct position to be determined for performing intracorneal dissection.
