To note the comprehensive role of swept source anterior segment optical coherence tomography (SS-ASOCT) in anterior segment diseases.
A systematic literature search was carried out on various medical databases using the keywords, swept source anterior segment optical coherence tomography; SS-ASOCT; Cornea and SS-ASOCT; SS-ASOCT and glaucoma; SS-ASOCT and cataract; SS-ASOCT and biometer; SS-ASOCT and tear film and ocular surface.Original works and novel reports describing the potential role of SS-ASOCT in various anterior segment conditions were included.
After a thorough assessment of literature, it was clear that the SS-ASOCT did provide newer insights into many anterior eye conditions. The rapid scan acquisition, deeper tissue penetration, and higher magnification did enhance many of our understandings, which were previously not possible. In addition, lenticular assessment under complex clinical scenarios with automated values on objective scale has made it a worthy tool with immense future possibilities.
SS-ASOCT unveiled various anterior segment findings which were of clinical importance.
指出扫频源眼前节光学相干断层扫描（SS-ASOCT）在眼前节疾病中的综合作用。
使用关键词“扫频源眼前节光学相干断层扫描”、“SS-ASOCT”、“角膜和 SS-ASOCT”、“SS-ASOCT 和青光眼”、“SS-ASOCT 和白内障”、“SS-ASOCT 和生物测量仪”、“SS-ASOCT 和泪膜及眼表”，在多个医学数据库中进行了系统的文献检索。纳入了描述 SS-ASOCT 在各种眼前节疾病中潜在作用的原始研究和新报告。
经过对文献的全面评估，很明显 SS-ASOCT 确实为许多眼前部疾病提供了新的见解。快速扫描采集、更深的组织穿透和更高的放大倍率增强了我们以前不可能获得的许多理解。此外，在具有客观自动值的复杂临床情况下对晶状体进行评估，使其成为一种具有巨大未来潜力的有价值工具。
SS-ASOCT 揭示了具有临床重要意义的各种眼前节发现。
