Accurate preoperative measurements are required for refractive and cataract surgery. Pentacam is a new imaging system for anterior eye segment study. The authors present technique and the range of measurements; topography of both anterior and posterior corneal surface from limbus to limbus, densitometry, anterior chamber angle, volume and depth, lens densitometry and 3D-virtual model of the anterior eye segment are taken. All those structures are shown thanks to rotating Scheimpflug camera, which generates three-dimension images. Any eye movements are detected by a second camera and corrected for, in the process. All results are written down on PC and are available for the prospective studies.

Ophthalmology Department, Faculty of Medicine - Suez Canal University Hospitals, 4.5 Kilo - Ring Road, Ismailia, 41522, Egypt.
Purpose: To assess the effect of anterior chamber depth on corneal endothelium using specular microscopy following uneventful phacoemulsification among cataract patients with different axial lengths.
Methods: The study was conducted in a quasi-experimental design including 300 eyes of 300 patients with grade three age-related nuclear cataract distributed equally based on their axial length into three equal groups. All eyes had grade three nuclear cataract.
Older cerebral small vessel disease and sleep disturbance: A diffusion tensor imaging study.
Sleep Med
January 2025
Department of Neurology, Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University, Tianjin, 300211, China. Electronic address:
Objective: This study examined the relationship between diffusion tensor imaging indicators and brain network characteristics in patients with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) with (CSVD + S) and without (CSVD-S) sleep disturbance. We explored the feasibility of using these imaging biomarkers to investigate the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying sleep disturbance in patients with CSVD.
Methods: A total of 146 patients with CSVD and 84 healthy controls were included.
