Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The anterior chamber depth (ACD) measurement provides valuable information in different fields in ophthalmology. Firstly, it is important for the new theoretical biometric formulas used to calculate the power of intraocular lenses (IOLs) .Secondly, phakic IOL implantation requires precise ACD measurement for both surgical planning and IOL power calculation. Thirdly, the ACD is also implicated as a screening risk factor for glaucoma. Additionally, precise ACD measurement is thought to be important to the accurate determination of the optic zone ablation diameter for keratorefractive surgery, as well as for the analysis of postoperative ACD changes.
Different technologies are used in measurement of the anterior chamber depth Such as pentacam and iol maste

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Optical biometry by the IOL Master was introduced in the United Kingdom in 1999.Its technology is based on laser interfer-ometry with partial coherent light, termed as Partial Coherence Interferometry (PCI).The device uses the principle of PCI to measure the axial length of the eye.While uses a slit-beam photo-graphic technique for ACD measurements For keratometry measurement, six light spots are projected hexagonally on the cornea .The device records the reflection of these images measuring the separation of the opposite pairs of light spots and calculating the corneal radii and toroidal surface curvature. The mean of the taken measurements is considered the corneal power . The displayed K1 and K2 represent the average keratometry values at two major perpendicular meridians .For ACD measurement, the IOL Master directs a slit beam of light 0.7mm wide through the anterior segment at an angle of 38ยบ to the visual axis.The internal software measures the distance between anterior pole of the cornea and the anterior surface of the lens to calculate the ACD . The device takes five ACD measurements in rapid succession; the mean of these readings are taken as the ACD value . For WTW measurement, a digital grey-scale photograph of the anterior surface of the eye is taken after focusing on the iris. The limbus is then detected automatically and the WTW distance is measured
Pentacam :
The Pentacam obtains images of the anterior segment by a rotating Scheimpflug blue Light Emitting Diode (LED) with a wavelength of 475nm. It acquires 50 images in a duration of approximately two seconds. It extracts about 2,760 true elevation points from the obtained images which in turn generates 1 38,000 true elevation points for the both front and back corneal surfacesand from limbus to limbus, including the central part of the cornea . There for, it calculates k-readings of the cornea. The Pentacam HR calculates ACD from the corneal endothelial layer along a line from the apex of the cornea to the anterior surface of the lens . Horizontal WTW was measured by manual placement of callipers on the Scheimpflug image of the horizontal plane of the examined eye; callipers are placed on the corneo-scleral junction then a line is automat-ically drawn between the two points . The length of this line represents the WTW value
