title: Optical problems of anterior chamber depth biometry by scheimpflug photography.
abstract: For the first time, the Scheimpflug camera was used in the comparative investigation of the anterior chamber depth. Comparative measurements were carried out by a device developed by Jaeger, a clinically and scientifically proved method in anterior chamber depth determination. The physical problems of measuring the anterior chamber depth by using optical methods can be shown by the examination demonstrated here. The apparent change of the cornea profile depending on the cornea radius, which you can see in optical investigations, schematically described by Collignon-Brach, can be represented photographically by the Scheimpflug image.
