Abstract
We present a portable optical cataract assessment technology which measures with a circular photodetector the fraction of light scattered backwards by the human eye lens when illuminated by a laser diode. As our signal arises directly from the fundamental pathology—increased scattering in the lens—it directly assesses cataract extent and progression. Initial clinical results in undilated human eyes show device reading correlations in agreement with clinical examination and Scheimpflug photography.
