Classification of human cataracts.
A stereoscopic system of lens photography was developed and was applied in the classification of different forms of cataract. Lenses, after surgical extraction, can be classified by a technician, independent of ophthalmological collaboration. This system meets the needs of the laboratory scientist and has been adopted by the Cooperative Cataract Research Group.
