Lens density measurement with Scheimpflug camera in vitrectomised eyes
Copyright policy )Lens density measurement with Scheimpflug camera in vitrectomised eyes
To determine whether vitrectomised eyes have a higher lens optical density, when measured with a Scheimpflug camera, compared to non-vitrectomised eyes.The peak and linear Scheimpflug optical density (DOS), and area of both eyes were measured in a sample size of 81 vitrectomised phakic patients. A comparison was made between the DOS of the vitrectomised eye lens and the contralateral non-vitrectomised eye using the Student-t test.A significantly higher linear DOS and area was obtained in the 81 vitrectomised phakic eyes when compared to the non-vitrectomised eyes (P<.001). The peak DOS is not significantly increased in respect to non-vitrectomised eyes (P=.59).The lens DOS in vitrectomised eyes is higher than in non-vitrectomised eyes. The importance of the vitreous in the maintenance of lens transparency is emphasised.
