The effect of the scattering light on the visual acuity in simulated cataracts
Cataract, as well as presbyopia, is one of the most typical age-related diseases in vision. As the cataract progresses, the crystalline lens becomes hazy and the visual acuity (VA) deteriorates. Since the scattering light causes the loss of VA, a brighter environment is expected to impair VA further. In this study, the VA was measured as a function of the Haze factor of lens and the intensity of scattering light. We propose a novel method for assessing the degree of cataract using the obtained functions of VA.
