Técnicas espectroscópicas aplicadas à oftalmologia: principais ações para diagnóstico e terapia

Abstract

In this work, an analysis of existing articles in the literature was carried out, and from these, some articles were selected to highlight the evolution of the application of spectroscopic techniques in the field of Ophthalmology. To enter this area, we start by describing the ocular system, components, characteristics and associated diseases. Then, the spectroscopic techniques were discussed. Details of sample preparations and result analysis methods were the main aspects considered. Through the results published in the literature, it is possible to observe an evolution in the application of spectroscopic techniques regarding the equipment used, clearly indicating that there was a change of apparatus. As important considerations, we highlight the determination of protein content in almost all articles regarding both techniques. With the same purpose of analyzing the structures of ocular tissues, it is observed that, over the years, the articles analyzed have different approaches, confirming the technological development of spectroscopic techniques. Also in this work, a mini script for the treatment of spectra was carried out, using the Spectragryph software.
