[The importance of the interference fringe visual acuity in the indication of a cataract-extraction (author's transl)].
100 patients have been examined before and after cataract-extraction using the Retinal Visual Acuity Tester, Takata, Japan. Laser produced interference fringes are formed on the retina, as a result the visual acuity can be determined easily before the operation. -- With immature cataracts we obtained a good correlation between the preoperative interference fringe visual acuity and the postoperative visual acuity tested by Landoltrings. Therefore, it can be differentiated whether worse visual acuity is caused by the cataract or by a retinal disease.
