<h4>Purpose</h4>The optical density of the cornea can be evaluated quantitatively by "densitometry" using a rotating Scheimpflug camera. Densitometry allows evaluation of corneal opacity in the anterior segment of the eye by quantitative measurement of scattering light. In the present investigation, we evaluate quantitatively minimal subclinical corneal edema after cataract surgery using densitometry.<h4>Methods</h4>Fifty four eyes of 34 patients who underwent cataract surgery were enrolled.
