A 3D anterior segment analyzer is a diagnostic imaging device used in ophthalmology and optometry to capture, analyze, and visualize the anterior segment of the eye in three dimensions. The anterior segment includes structures like:
- Cornea
- Anterior chamber
- Iris
- Lens (front part)
- Sclera (partially)
These analyzers provide detailed, high-resolution 3D images, allowing clinicians to assess the structure, shape, and depth of these tissues for diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring of ocular diseases or conditions.
Key Features of 3D Anterior Segment Analyzers
Imaging Modalities Used
- OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) – Uses light waves to generate cross-sectional images.
- Scheimpflug Imaging – Uses a rotating camera and slit light source to create 3D reconstructions.
- AS-OCT (Anterior Segment OCT) – A specialized version of OCT optimized for the anterior eye.
What It Can Measure or Analyze:
- Corneal thickness (pachymetry)
- Anterior chamber depth and volume
- Corneal curvature (topography/ tomography)
- Angle assessment (for glaucoma risk)
- Iris configuration
- Contact lens fitting evaluation
- Post-surgical evaluation (e.g., LASIK, cataract surgery)
Common Uses:
- Screening and monitoring glaucoma
- Planning for refractive surgeries (e.g., LASIK, PRK, SMILE)
- Cataract surgery planning
- Keratoconus detection and progression tracking
- Fitting specialty contact lenses (like scleral lenses)
