Purpose The purpose of this study was to assess UV corneal crosslinking (CXL) treatment outcomes for keratoconus by evaluating the corneal regularity in patients through follow-up using the Oculus Pentacam. Patients and methods A total of 18 eyes from CXL patients with keratoconus were studied before and after CXL treatment, and six eyes from six patients who were not treated with CXL served ...

PURPOSE To compare the corneal volume in keratoconic and normal eyes to improve our understanding of the tissue distribution associated with the disease. MATERIALS AND METHOD The Oculus Pentacam tomographer (Oculus Inc., Wetzlar, Germany) was used to analyze the corneal volume contained within discs with diameters of 3, 5, 7, and 10 mm in 21 patients with keratoconus and 21 matched healthy co...

Background Reaching a consensus on which parameters are most reliable at detecting progressive keratoconus patients with serial topography imaging is not evident. The aim of the study was to isolate the parameters best positioned to detect keratoconus progression using the Pentacam HR® measures based on the respective limits of repeatability and range of measurement. Method Using the Pentacam...

PURPOSE To comprehensively assess the reliability of automated Pentacam (Oculus, Inc.) measurements. SETTING Flinders Eye Centre, Flinders Medical Centre, Bedford Park, South Australia, Australia. METHODS Both eyes of 35 normal volunteers were tested twice on the same day by 2 different observers. All automated values were recorded, and manual analysis of topographic maps was performed only...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background : the aim of this study was to determine the correlation between corneal hysteresis (ch) and the corneal resistance factor (crf), which are both novel methods of analyzing ocular rigidity/elasticity, and various corneal characteristics, mainly corneal volume in normal subjects. methods : this cross-sectional study included 500 normal eyes...

PURPOSE Comparing diagnostic accuracy of biomicroscope techniques (van Herick and Smith's tests, evaluating limbal and central anterior chamber depth, respectively) and advanced imaging (Visante OCT and Pentacam) for detection of gonioscopically narrow anterior chamber angles (ACAs). METHODS A total of 78 subjects with narrow or open ACAs underwent four index tests, performed on both eyes by ...

OBJECTIVE To report visual outcomes, complication rate, and safety of retropupillary iris-claw intraocular lens (ICIOL) in ectopia lentis in Marfan syndrome (MFS). DESIGN Retrospective study. METHODS Six eyes of three MFS patients with ectopia lentis underwent surgery for subluxation lens and retropupillary ICIOL implantation from October 2014 to October 2015 at the Department of Ophthalmol...

PURPOSE To implement geometrical and optical distortion correction methods for anterior segment Scheimpflug images obtained with a commercially available system (Pentacam, Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH). METHODS Ray tracing algorithms were implemented to obtain corrected ocular surface geometry from the original images captured by the Pentacam's CCD camera. As details of the optical layout were not...
