Abstract:
Pentacam scheimpflug system utilize the principle of Scheimpflug to image the anterior eye segment.It equips with an automatically rotating Scheimpflug camera to perform a complete measurement of the anterior segment.A precise analysis of the corneal thickness,corneal topography,anterior chamber and crystalline lens are carried out during the operation.These data then provide the basis for a three-dimensional model of the complete anterior segment.The Pentacam scheimpflug system offers a wide range of functions in refractive surgery,keratoconus analysis,glaucoma screening and phacoemulsification.The newest progression in the application of the Pentacam in anterior ocular segment photography were reviewed.
