Aim: To evaluate dual Scheimpflug analyzer (Galilei) as a screening method for the diagnostic of gonioscopically narrow anterior chamber angles (ACA).
Methods: In 40 eyes of 40 patients with different ACA range, the ACA, anterior chamber volume (ACV) and anterior chamber depth (ACD) were analyzed using the dual Scheimpflug analyzer (Galilei G6 system). Correspondence between these parameters and Shaffer's classification based on gonioscopy were studied. Receiving operator characteristic (ROC) curves and partition analysis were used to determine the efficacy of the Galilei system in screening for narrow angles. Agreement (Kappa statistics), sensitivity, and specificity for each eye, according to Galilei measures, were also assessed.
Results: Shaffer's grade (from 0 to 4) were significantly associated with each of the measurements (<0.001). In screening eyes with narrow angles with the Galilei, the area under the ROC curve was largest (0.90) when ACD was used as the reference, and partition analysis demonstrated that those eyes were most adequately partitioned with an ACD of 2.86 mm with 100% sensitivity and 80% specificity.
Conclusion: The Galilei is a secure, repeatable and noncontact screening method for narrow angles. However it does not provide sufficient information about the ACA anatomy to be considered a substitute for gonioscopy.

Comparison of Toric Intraocular Lens Axis Accuracy between Optical Biometry and Dual Scheimpflug Topography.
Korean J Ophthalmol
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seongnam, Korea.
Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of toric intraocular lens (IOL) axis prediction between two preoperative measurement devices: the optical biometry (IOLMaster 500 or 700) and the dual Scheimpflug topography (Galilei G4).
Methods: Medical records of 64 eyes from 44 patients who underwent phacoemulsification and posterior chamber toric IOL (Zeiss AT TORBI 709M) implantation between July 2017 and January 2022 were reviewed. All patients underwent preoperative evaluation by optical biometry (IOLMaster 500 or IOLMaster 700) and Galilei G4.

Department of Ophthalmology, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea.
Purpose: To evaluate the agreement of ocular biometry measured using a swept-source optical coherence (Casia 2) and a dual Scheimpflug (Galilei G6) tomography in keratoconus.
Methods: This retrospective study included 102 eyes from 102 keratoconus patient examined using both devices. Parameters compared included flat (Kf) and steep (Ks) keratometry, astigmatism of anterior, posterior, and total keratometry, central (CCT) and thinnest (TCT) corneal thickness.
Repeatability of Scheimpflug-Placido camera in mild dry eye versus normal eyes according to the topographical position of the cornea.
Sci Rep
October 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Hanyang University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
We aimed to investigate the repeatability of various corneal measurements according to topographical location in the entire cornea measured by dual rotating Scheimpflug-Placido camera and to explore the differences in repeatability between patients with mild dry eye and those with normal eyes. In both the normal and dry eye groups, divided based on BUT or the height of the tear film, there were no statistically significant differences in the ratio of unacceptable variation (RUV) and ICC. The consistency of the examination of the anterior and posterior refractive values and corneal thickness according to the corneal location, measured three times repeatedly using the Galilei anterior segment camera, was high.
