Understanding of the biomechanics accommodative apparatus in eyes with different refraction is important for solving problems theoretical and practical ophthalmology. Purpose: To determine changes anterior eye segment dimensions during accommodation response normal patients myopia, hypermetropia. Methods Material: 116 (56 aged from 18 to 30 years, -2.0 + 2.0 D) were examined. All underwent a fu...

Swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT) is the latest advancement in anterior segment imaging. There are limited data regarding its performance after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). We compared the reliability of swept-source OCT and Scheimpflug imaging for evaluation of corneal parameters in refractive surgery candidates with myopia or myopic astigmatism. Three consecutive measur...

PURPOSE To assess the intraoperator repeatability and interoperator reproducibility of central corneal thickness measurements by the Pentacam Scheimpflug imaging system (Oculus) and the optical low-coherence reflectometer (OLCR) pachymeter (Haag-Streit) and to compare them with those of ultrasound (US) pachymetry. SETTING Assaf Harofe Medical Center Ophthalmology Outpatient Clinic, Zerifin, I...

AIMS A study was conducted to determine the capability of the recently developed National Eye Institute (NEI) Scheimpflug cataract imaging system in detecting changes in the nuclear region of the lens over a 1 year period. METHODS Twenty five eyes with pure nuclear cataracts with mean nuclear densities < or = 0.30 optical density units (ODU) as well as 30 normal control eyes were each examine...
