why does PSCLO give the most glare?
Oct 05, 2005 12:54:35 I know that PSCLO gives lotsv glare and problems with vision during miosis, but my supervisor said that in particular, out of all other cataracts, it gives the most glare, generally speaking. thanks |

RE: why does PSCLO give the most glare?
Oct 05, 2005 13:36:32 because of the nature of the opacity, it will scatter light more, therefore cause more problems with glare. Some ophthalmologists will remove a cataract in a patient with 6/6 vision if patient has PSCLO causing significant problems with glare. Contrast sensitivity is often significantly reduced too. |

Oct 05, 2005 13:45:54 sorry, what i was meant to ask was, why does it scatter light the most? i reckon its to do with the curvature of the posterior capsule etc combined with the opacity?? |
