Since the Scheimpflug principle was first described over a century ago, there has been a great interest among ophthalmologists for the use of Scheimpflug camera in anterior segment imaging. Scheimpflug imaging has since advanced significantly and modern day instruments provide comprehensive imaging and topographic data of the anterior segment. In this article the clinical applications and limitations of Scheimpflug imaging in modern cataract surgery patients are discussed. This article reviews recent work on assessment of lens transparency for cataract grading and integrity, using preoperative lens density measurements to help predict phacoemulsification parameters, its utility in challenging situations like capsular bag distension syndrome and traumatic cataract and assessment of density of the posterior capsule for objectively quantifying posterior-capsule opacification.
