Applications of Scheimpflug Imaging in Glaucoma Management: Current and Potential Applications

Figure 1

Depiction of the Scheimpflug principle as it applies to photography. When an oblique tangent is extended from the image plane and the lens plane, they intersect at a point that is also intersected by a line extended from the plane of focus. An object that lies on this plane can be captured in focus despite not being parallel with the image plane.
