Purpose

To evaluate the correlation between the vision acuity and the Ocular Scatter Index (OSI) monitoring patients with diagnosed cataract.

Setting

10 eyes with diagnosed cataract of 10 patients were monitored during 4 month.

Methods

The vision acuity, the Ocular Scatter Index were measured and slit lamp exam was performed during every visit. Four visits were included in the study design - the initial visit, 1 month, 2 months, 4 months. The OSI was measured using the HD analyzer equipment (Keeler USA).

Results

There was a negative correlation between two values (vision acuity and the Ocular Scatter Index) found in the study timeframe that was statisctically significant (p<0,05). First month r=-0,79, p<0,05, second month r=-0,56, p<0,05, fourth month r=-0,67, p<0,05.

Conclusion

The decrese of the vision acuity was accompanied by the increase of the OSI values during the period of observation, and vice versa.

The Ocular Scatter Index is an effective instrument for cataract progression monitoring and screening, that is very helpful in the settings of cataract and refractive surgeon clinic.
