Comparative study between Pentacam and IOL master in measuring anterior segment parameters in eyes of Egyptian individuals

Abstract

Abstract Background: Accurate values of anterior segment parameters are important for diagnosing variety of diseases and for cataract surgery, glaucoma, refractive surgery and postoperative follow up. The true values of anterior chamber depth (ACD), corneal power (K-readings) and white -to -white (WTW) are essential in calculating the intraocular lens power (IOL). The measurement of the ACD and WTW is essential for the success of phakic IOL implantation in patients asking for refractive surgery. This is now possible because of the development of new, accurate diagnostic and surgical tools.
