Intraocular light scatter in XXXX with @entity12705 .

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the extent of intraocular light scatter in @entity1 with @entity12705 . DESIGN: Prospective case-control study. @entity1 : Twelve male @entity1 with @entity12705 who had predominantly minimal or no @entity231 ( @entity231 ) @entity231 and visual acuities of 20/40 or better and 30 age-similar control subjects with normal vision and no @entity231 were studied. INTERVENTION: Intraocular light scatter was measured using a van den Berg Straylightmeter. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Visual acuities, letter contrast sensitivities, Goldmann visual fields using a II4e target, and straylight parameters were obtained for each @entity1 . Lenses were assessed by slit-lamp biomicroscopy to determine whether there were @entity231 opacities. The degree of retinal pigment epithelial and @entity179 was evaluated from color fundus photographs. RESULTS: Three of the @entity1 with @entity12705 who had clinically apparent @entity231 @entity231 showed an increase in intraocular light scatter. More notable was the fact that seven of the remaining nine @entity1 who did not have any clinically apparent changes in the lens also had a considerable increase in the intraocular light scatter as compared to the control subjects. The relative elevations of the log straylight parameters of the @entity1 with @entity12705 , as compared to age-similar control subjects, were correlated significantly with their log visual field areas (r = -0.69, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Intraocular light scatter may be increased in @entity1 with @entity12705 , even in the absence of clinically observable @entity231 opacities. It is hypothesized that the increase in light scatter may be caused by changes in the posterior subcapsular region of the lens before the formation of @entity231 . The increased straylight could, at least in part, account for the disability glare reported by these @entity1 .
