PURPOSE To determine the distribution of anterior eye biometry indices, such as keratometry pachymetry, anterior chamber depth (ACD), pupil diameter, and corneal diameter, as measured by Orbscan instrument in a young Iranian population. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted, and subjects were selected through multistage cluster sampling from the students of Mashhad University of Medic...

Title: Topography-Based Screening for Previous Laser in Situ Keratomileusis for Myopia and Hyperopia Purpose: To develop a screening tool based on corneal topography to detect previous myopic and hyperopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Settings: Clinical data from three private clinics analyzed in a university setting. Methods: 476 topographies (Orbscan II, Bausch & Lomb) were randomly ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the agreement among three different optical methods in measuring anterior chamber depth (ACD), central corneal thickness (CCT), and pupil diameter. METHODS One hundred eyes of 50 healthy patients (25 men, 25 women) were enrolled in the study. Mean patient age was 25 years (range: 21 to 32 years). Exclusion criteria were history of any intraocular or corneal surgery, contac...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the validity and repeatability of anterior chamber depth (ACD) measurements obtained with a novel rotating Scheimpflug camera (Pentacam; Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany) to scanning slit topography (Orbscan; Bausch & Lomb, Rochester, NY). METHODS ACD in 60 healthy eyes was measured twice by two independent observers with each modali...

PURPOSE To assess the accuracy of corneal astigmatism evaluation measured by four techniques, Orbscan IIz(®), Lenstar LS900(®), Cassini(®), and Total Cassini (anterior + posterior surface), in pseudophakic eyes. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 30 patients (46 eyes) who had undergone cataract surgery with the implantation of a monofocal intraocular lens (AcrySof IQ) were assessed after surgery...

OBJECTIVES To compare the anterior chamber depth (ACD) using ultrasonic and optical measurements. MATERIAL AND METHOD In this prospective study, ultrasound and optical (Orbscan) devices were employed to measure ACD in 42 eyes of 21 myopic volunteers. ACD values were compared using the paired-sample Student t test. The correlation of ACD values obtained from two groups was assessed by linear r...

A candidate for refractive surgery presented with classic (type I) Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS). Clinical examination revealed blue sclera, limbus-to-limbus corneal thinning, myopia, and astigmatism. Orbscan (Bausch & Lomb) pachymetry mapping provided a striking demonstration of the limbus-to-limbus thinning with a central corneal thickness of 360 microm in the right eye and 383 microm in the l...
