  • Title: [Monitoring the progress of lens opacities in cases of senile cataract by retro-illumination photography (author's transl)].
    Author: Hockwin O, Weigelin E, Hendrickson P, Koch HR.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1975 Apr; 166(4):498-503. PubMed ID: 1206921.
    Abstract:
    A follow-up study of lens opacities, utilizing retro-illumination photography with the fundus camera is described. After giving technical details, results are discussed and possible errors pointed out. If evaluation by planimetry or other devices is not possible, a useful procedure is the evaluation of simultaneous projected slides by a group of ophthalmologists not directly involved in the trial. This is demonstrated by testing the effect of 1-hydroxy-pyrido-(3,2alpha)-5-phenoxazone-3-carboxylic acid on the progress of senile cataract in a total of 48 eyes. Together with slit image photography of Brown (2, 3) the method of retro-illumination photography of the lens presented in this paper is a definite improvement in demonstrating the temporal course of cataract development.
