TSUKUBA, Japan — A modified Scheimpflug eye analysis system can be used for quantitative evaluation of corneal haze, according to a study.

Tetsuro Oshika, MD, and colleagues here at the University of Tsukuba used a TSPC-3 hazemeter to conduct in vitro experiments to quantify corneal haze. The TSPC-3 is a modified version of the Nidek EAS-1000 Scheimpflug anterior segment analysis system.

The scattering intensity measured with the hazemeter showed a significant linear correlation with the concentration of latex microsphere solutions. The scattering intensity measured was directly proportional to that of the light path length.

The study is published in Ophthalmic Research.
