CORRELATION OF AGE-RELATED CATARACT DENSITY GRADED BY THE SCHEIMPFLUG IMAGING SYSTEM WITH VISUAL FUNCTIONS AND PHACOEMULSIFICATION ENERGY
Original language description
The purpose of study was to investigate the relationship between lens density in age-related cataract and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and the impact of cataract grade assessed via 3D lens densitometry by Pentacam Nucleus Grading System (PNS) on Phacodynamics (phaco-time and phaco-energy). 55 patients with age-related cataract were evaluated. Lens density was assessed using the PNS. BCVA was tested with Snellen chart. Surgery was performed with no adjustment of parameters and phaco-energy-time was monitored. The cataract PNS grade negatively correlated with the visual function. The positive correlation was found between the lens density and phacoemulsification time and energy. The Scheimpflug optical densitometry offers objective grading and canbe used for prediction phacodynamics and the most suitable phaco settings to minimize the disturbance of the eye during surgery.
