The multi-purpose camera: a new anterior eye segment analysis system.
A new device for the analysis of the anterior eye segment was developed. With this device, a Scheimpflug slit image and a retroillumination image can be taken separately using a CCD camera. The quality of the images obtained was satisfactory enough for analysis. The data obtained were stored and analyzed on an almost real-time level using an on-line computer. The menu for the data analysis provided for this device includes multilinear densitometry, with planimetry, area densitometry, measurement of anterior chamber depth and thickness of lens layers, determination of chamber angle and positioning of implanted intraocular lenses, and measurement of opaque areas in the retroillumination image.
