Abstract: | Corneal and anterior segment imaging techniques have become a crucial tool in the clinical practice of ophthalmology, with a great variety of applications, such as corneal curvature and pachymetric analysis, detection of ectatic corneal conditions, anatomical study of the anterior segment prior to phakic intraocular lens implantation, or densitometric analysis of the crystalline lens. From the Placido-based systems that allow only a characterization of the geometry of the anterior corneal surface to the Scheimpflug photography-based systems that provide a characterization of the cornea, anterior chamber, and crystalline lens, there is a great variety of devices with the capability of analyzing different anatomical parameters with very high precision. To date, Scheimpflug photography-based systems are the devices providing the more complete analysis of the anterior segment in a non-invasive way. More developments are required in anterior segment imaging technologies in order to improve the analysis of the crystalline lens structure as well as the ocular structures behind the iris in a non-invasive way when the pupil is not dilated. |
