title: [Objectified measurement of eye lens transparency in elderly probands. Results of a Scheimpflug photography study over the course of three and a half years].
abstract: Lens density has been followed-up in 32 healthy volunteers (mean age 65 years) over a period of 3.5 years. The negatives of Scheimpflug-photos (Topcon SL-45) were evaluated by linear microdensitometry in three measure planes (Joyce Loebl 3 CS). Correlation coefficients, curves of regression as well as calculations of the percentage of density change made obvious, that a minimal increase in lens density occurred in the anterior cortical region.
