Image analysis and glare sensitivity in human age‐related cataracts

Abstract

The interactive and automated computerised system discriminated the photographic image features of the back light-scattering/absorb centres within different grey thresholds and documented objective lens findings such as optical density, areas of equidensities, geometric surfaces, opacity grading. Digital image analysis gave a topographic and 3-D assembling and visualisation for nuclear, cortical and posterior subcapsular opacities in human lenses revealed from the optical scanning tomographic study of the anterior eye segment. The results indicate on agreement between clinical findings and applied quantitative techniques of analysis. This system has the potential to be a useful objective clinical assessment of cataract.
