  • Title: Long-term follow-up examination of experimental cataracts in rats by Scheimpflug photography and densitometry.

    Journal: Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol; 1984; 222(1):20-5. PubMed ID: 6510720.
    Abstract:
    Development of experimental cataract can be objectively monitored in rats by application of Scheimpflug photography with the SL 45 Topcon camera and subsequent densitometric image analysis. The method has been used to study naphthalene cataract in Brown-Norway rats (BN-CPB), as well as diabetic cataract induced by streptozotocin injection in Sprague-Dawley rats. The values obtained by linear microdensitometric image analysis allowed precise characterization of the opacification with respect to size, topography, and time progress so that statistical evaluation of the efficacy of certain drugs in prevention or delay of experimental cataracts was possible.
