PURPOSE To check whether myopic LASIK induces changes on the posterior corneal surface. METHODS A Scheimpflug system (Pentacam; Oculus, GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany) was used to measure preoperative and postoperative posterior corneal topography in 27 eyes (of 14 subjects) that had undergone standard myopic LASIK surgery (attempted corrections between -1.25 and -8.50 D) and on 18 nonoperated eyes (...

PURPOSE To evaluate the accuracy of preoperative keratometers used in cataract surgery with toric intraocular lens (IOL). METHODS Twenty-five eyes received an AcrySof toric IOL implantation. Four different keratometric methods, a manual keratometer, an IOL master, a Pentacam and an auto keratometer, were performed preoperatively in order to evaluate preexisting corneal astigmatism. Difference...

Purpose. To evaluate anterior segment's structures by Pentacam in patients with tilted disc syndrome (TDS). Methods. Group 1 included forty-six eyes of forty-six patients who have the TDS. Group 2 including forty-six eyes of forty-six cases was the control group which was equal to the study group in age, gender, and refraction. A complete ophthalmic examination was performed in both groups. All...

OBJECTIVE: It was aimed to evaluate the changes observed in anterior segment parameters patients with keratoconus using Pentacam device according severity of disease and compare determined results those obtained from healthy individuals.MATERIAL AND METHODS: The data by for 104 eyes 52 120 60 individuals were retrospectively evaluated. Demographic features patients, corneal curvature posterior ...

Cornea is unique to its transparency. It has Peculiar feature of transmitting almost all the light passing through it. Corneal clarity dwindles with surgical or pathological insults i.e. infections, corneal dystrophies and degenerations [1]. This induced corneal haze impedes the light rays to pass which results in backward scattering of light [2]. Maintaining regular surveillance over resulting...
