OCT Catgrading: Cataract quantification using swept source-based optical coherence tomography: a pilot study

Cataract quantification can be a very difficult venture. On the one hand the patients are affected differently by the different types of cataract. On the other hand, the tools available to the ophthalmologist to assess cataract are subjective and so the assessment of cataract is examiner dependent. Aim of this study is the quantification of different cataract types using swept source OCT technology and comparison with other imaging methods, contrast vision assessment and visual acuity testing.
