Background: The present study determined the mean reference values of the anterior segment parameters of the selected eye using swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) in healthy Caucasian participants. Methods: A total of 166 volunteers (age 54–79 years), women (n = 92) and men (n = 74), were analyzed. One eye of each subject was randomly selected for anterior segment imaging. The anterior segment of the eye was scanned with CASIA2. The analyzed anterior segment parameters were divided into three groups, namely parameters of the cornea, lens, and angle. Results: The OCT (e.g., Ks, Kf, pKf, pKs, and central corneal thickness) and Fourier parameters of the cornea were significantly different between females and males. The iridocorneal angle was the smallest in the upper quadrant for all distance from the apex of the angle (250, 500, and 750 µm). Conclusions: Therefore, SS-OCT enables the analysis of parameters of the cornea, anterior chamber, lens, and iridocorneal angle, highlighting its clinical utility. Sex-specific differences in the analyzed parameters should be taken into account during the diagnosis of corneal diseases. The configuration of the filtration angle is an important marker during glaucoma diagnosis and drainage implant surgery. Measurements with CASIA 2is characterized by very good repeatability.

Background/aimsThe primary objective is to quantify the lens nuclear opacity using swept-source anterior segment optical coherence tomography (SS-ASOCT) and to evaluate its correlations with Lens Opacities Classification System III (LOCS-III) system and surgical parameters. The secondary objective is to assess the diagnostic performance for hard nuclear cataract.MethodsThis cross-sectional study included 1222 patients eligible for cataract surgery (1222 eyes). The latest SS-ASOCT (CASIA-2) was used to obtain high-resolution lens images, and the average nuclear density (AND) and maximum nuclear density (MND) were measured by a custom ImageJ software. Spearman’s correlations analysis was used to assess associations of AND/MND with LOCS-III nuclear scores, visual acuity and surgical parameters. The subjects were then split randomly (9:1) into the training dataset and validating dataset. Receiver operating characteristic curves and calibration curves were constructed for the classification on hard nuclear cataract.ResultsThe AND and MND from SS-ASOCT images were significantly correlated with nuclear colour scores (AND: r=0.716; MND: r=0.660; p<0.001) and nuclear opalescence scores (AND: r=0.712; MND: r=0.655; p<0.001). The AND by SS-ASOCT images had the highest values of Spearman’s r for preoperative corrected distance visual acuity (r=0.3131), total ultrasonic time (r=0.3481) and cumulative dissipated energy (r=0.4265). The nuclear density had good performance in classifying hard nuclear cataract, with area under the curves of 0.859 (0.831–0.886) for AND and 0.796 (0.768–0.823) for MND.ConclusionObjective and quantitative evaluation of the lens nuclear density using SS-ASOCT images enable accurate diagnosis of hard nuclear cataract.

Purpose: To determine the central corneal thickness in myopic adult patients scheduled for laser corneal refractive surgery and to explore its correlation with degree of refractive error. Materials and Methods: The case records of 130 myopic patients who underwent laser corneal refractive surgery in a military hospital over a period of two years were reviewed to determine the central corneal thickness. All patients had 6/6 vision with best correction, and did not have any other anterior segment or fundus diseases in both eyes. The central corneal thickness was measured with Visante Carl Zeiss anterior segment optical coherence tomography instrument.                                                                                                                        Results: Out of 130 patients, males were more (73, 56.2%); mean age of patients was 33.8 years (range 18-60 years) and majority were Malays (110, 84.6%).  The spherical power of myopia ranged from – 0.5 to – 10.00 D, and the cylindrical power ranged from – 0.25 to – 3.25 D. The mean central corneal thickness of both eyes was 528.2 µm (range 331- 615 µm); in the mild degree of myopia (- 0.50 to - 2.00 D) 527.9 µm, moderate degree (- 2.25 to -5.00 D) 529.4 µm, and high degree (-5.25 to -11.00 D) 523.9 µm. Conclusion: The anterior segment optical coherence tomography provides noncontact, rapid, pachymetry mapping of the corneal thickness. In Malaysian patients, the mean central corneal thickness of both eyes in myopia was 528.1 µm (range 331- 615 µm). There was no correlation between the mean central corneal thickness and degree of myopia, different genders, age groups, ethnic groups and two eyes.
