AIM To compare the anterior segment measurements obtained by rotating Scheimpflug camera (Pentacam) and Scanning-slit topography (Orbscan IIz) in keratoconic eyes. METHODS A total of 121 patients, 71 males (58.7%) and 50 females (41.3%) (214 eyes) with the diagnosis of keratoconus (KC) were enrolled in this study. Following diagnosis of KC by slit-lamp biomicroscopic examination, central corn...

BACKGROUND/AIMS This case report aims to evaluate safety, efficacy and applicability of anterior surface imaging in a patient with forme fruste keratoconus (FFKC) based on a novel multi-spot, multicolor light-emitting-diode (LED) tear film-reflection imaging technology. CASE DESCRIPTION A 45-year-old male patient, clinically diagnosed with FFKC, with highly asymmetric manifestation between hi...

Considerable achievements having been recently made in modern diagnostics and treatment of keratoconus have not diminished the urgency of the given problem as the traditional views of the pathogenesis of keratoconus do not always allow to struggle effectively with this difficult and continuously progressing disease. The objective of the research was to study the peculiarities of biomechanical p...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the central corneal thickness (CCT) measurements of four noncontact devices in healthy eyes. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a sample of 45 healthy controls, CCT was measured using an optical biometer (IOLMaster 700) based on swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT), high-resolution rotating Scheimpflug camera system (Pentacam HR), spectral-...

PURPOSE To compare the ocular anterior chamber depth, white-to-white distance, anterior chamber angle, and pupil diameter, as measured with two different Scheimpflug imaging devices. METHODS This transversal study included 80 right eyes from 80 subjects aged from 20 to 40 years. Their spherical equivalents ranged from -4.25 to +1.00 diopters (D). Each eye's anterior chamber depth, white-to-wh...

PURPOSE To analyze single session, intrauser reliability of a Scheimpflug device for anterior chamber (AC) and corneal parameters. METHODS In this observational study, 100 normal candidates underwent Scheimpflug analysis with Sirius 3D Rotating Scheimpflug Camera and Topography System (Costruzione Strumenti Oftalmici, Italy). Two scans in dark room conditions were performed by the same experi...

We present a comparison between measurements of the radius of the anterior and posterior lens surface, which was performed using corrected Scheimpflug imaging and Purkinje imaging in the same group of participants (46 for the anterior lens, and 34 for the posterior lens). Comparisons were also made as a function of accommodation (0 to 7 D) in a subset of 11 eyes. Data were captured and processe...
