Abstract

147 patients (147 eyes) with age-related cataracts were studied. The density of the lens on the Pentacam system was determined for all patients. We compared the power of the applied force of ultrasound and the equivalent time of its use for five degrees of lens density. The study proved that the PentacamHR's shampflug camera is a fairly accurate method for determining the density of cataracts before surgery, the main advantage of which is its non-contact.
