Abstract

The development of a slitlamp camera system based on the Scheimpflug principle with image analysis has been a major improvement in lens and cataract research. Since its introduction into ophthalmology by Brown and Niesel in the sixties of this century and further technical amelioration by Hockwin, Dragomirescu and Sasaki it has been applied in various experimental and clinical investigations. The purpose of this paper is to summarize and review the application of Scheimpflug photography in clinical ophthalmology and to show possibilities and indications for the use of the Scheimpflug technique in clinical studies.
