title: [Contact free in-vivo imaging of cornea and anterior chamber of the human eye - a qualitative comparison of imaging techniques].
abstract: For the contactless diagnosis of the human cornea and anterior chamber in clinical routine, two systems have been established besides the slit lamp: the Scheimpflug camera and optical coherence tomography (OCT). A short introduction into these imaging methods is provided along with a comparison with respect to imaging quality and the visibility of relevant ocular structures. We present different examples from special clinical diagnostics such as keratoconus, condition after keratoplasty or tumours in ocular tissue.
