Resumen

BAUZA FORTUNATO, Yaumary et al. Clinical use of MS-39: a topograph for the study of the anterior segment. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2021, vol.34, n.2  Epub 30-Jul-2021. ISSN 1561-3070.

The human eye is a simple but extremely robust optical tool. Imaging systems for the diagnosis and evaluation of the anterior segment of the eye are a fundamental tool for ophthalmologists. Until recently, use of these techniques mainly provided qualitative information about certain diseases; however, the current development of quantification techniques has paved the way for a new era in image-based evaluation and treatment. Optical coherence tomography of the anterior segment has gained crucial importance in ophthalmology. MS-39 is a topograph that uses the spectral domain and Placido disc topography to obtain measurements of the anterior segment of the eye. This tool provides information about the pachymetry, elevation, curvature and dioptric power of both sides of the cornea. It also permits the development of epithelial maps and crystalline lens biometry. The great repeatability of this technology justifies its use in clinical practice. Hence the motivation to conduct a search for a variety of published papers, with the purpose of describing the characteristics and usefulness of the MS-39 for the study of the anterior segment of the eye. Use was made of the Infomed platform, particularly the Virtual Health Library with all its search engines.

Palabras clave : Topography; optical coherence tomography; anterior segment.
