Application of swept-source optical coherence tomography biometer in cataract / 中华实验眼科杂志

ABSTRACT

Recently,optical biometers based on swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) technology have been applied to clinical ophthalmology.Compared with previous optical biometers,SS-OCT instruments have many advantages,such as faster processes,more accurate results,higher detection rate,and more built-in formulas for calculating the intraocular lens (IOL) power;moreover,SS-OCT images can be used to detect preliminary maculopathy and predict postoperative tilt of IOL.In this paper,we reviewed the application of SS-OCT biometer in cataract,mainly focus on the principle of work,the evaluation of repeatability and reproducibility,the consistency comparison with other biometers,and the application of SS-OCT in other aspects of cataract.
