Measurement of combined corneal, internal, and total ocular optical quality analysis in anterior segment pathology with the OPD-scan and OPD-station.

PURPOSE: To show the clinical use of the NIDEK OPD-Scan wavefront aberrometer and OPD-Station software in anterior segment surgery and pathology.

METHODS

Case examples are presented along with discussion about the relevant clinical data obtained from the OPD-Scan and OPD-Station software.

RESULTS

Six case examples including cataract surgery, secondary IOL implantation, phakic intraocular lens surgery, pterygium surgery, contact lens fitting, and multifocal ablations are discussed.

CONCLUSIONS

A complete understanding of the optics of the eye facilitates a better clinical comprehension of a variety of conditions in anterior segment surgery and pathology.
