title: [Examinations of the cornea and anterior chamber angle region with a laser tomographic scanner (LTS)].
abstract: The Laser Tomographic Scanner LTS based on laser scanning and confocal detection is a system to generate and measure optical section images. The periphery of the cornea and the anterior chamber angle region is shown in the horizontal section image with high image quality and high signal-to-noise ratio. 130 patients and 163 eyes were examined in this way. First experience shows possible applications for special clinical situations. Using horizontal optical section images, a procedure is generated to measure the anterior chamber angle without contact or local anesthesia with a reproducibility of 2 degrees. Horizontal section images clearly demonstrate changes of anterior chamber angle depth following e.c. cataract extraction and implantation of posterior chamber IOLs. Using the generated measurement procedure, these changes could be quantified.
