An Optical Section-Assisted In Vivo Rabbit Model for Capsular Bend and Posterior Capsule Opacification Investigation.

Purpose: To establish an optical section-assisted in vivo rabbit model for capsular bend and posterior capsule opacification (PCO) investigation.

Methods: A total of 10 rabbits underwent phacoemulsification surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. On the basis of the relationship between the anterior capsule and IOL, the rabbits were divided into complete overlap and incomplete overlap groups, in which six and four rabbits were included, respectively.

Reliability of Pentacam HR Thickness Maps of the Entire Cornea in Normal, Post-Laser In Situ Keratomileusis, and Keratoconus Eyes.

Purpose: To measure the repeatability and reproducibility of Pentacam HR system thickness maps for the entire cornea in normal, post-laser in situ keratomileusis (post-LASIK), and keratoconus (KC) eyes.

Design: Reliability study.

Methods: Sixty normal subjects (60 eyes), 30 post-LASIK subjects (60 eyes), and 14 KC patients (27 eyes) were imaged with the Pentacam HR system by 2 well-trained operators.
