Application of an anterior eye segment analysis system in clinical cataract research.

Abstract

Clinical application of a newly developed ANTERIOR EYE SEGMENT ANALYSIS SYSTEM was introduced. By this system, a Scheimpflug and a retroillumination image of the anterior eye segment are obtained through a CCD camera, separately. To overcome difficult problems experienced with previous types of lens documentation systems, several kinds of new mechanisms were built into this system. Slit and retroillumination images of some cases with cataracts and some examples of anterior eye segment analysis were described.
