Description
This publication features selected contributions presented at the 6th Scheimpflug Club Meeting. The meeting focused on new techniques and instruments, based on Theodor Scheimpflug's principle, that can be used for the recording of cataract. The instruments developed can also be used for a wide variety of projects documenting the anterior segment of the eye and even the effects of vitrectomy. Highlighting the importance of these developments in clinical and experimental research as well as their use in routine clinical application, this supplement issue is important reading for everyone concerned with ophthalmology.
