title: [The Opacity Lens Meter 701: clinical experiences].
abstract: The quantitative influence of cataracts on visual fields was studied in 11 patients before and after cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation. Lens opacity, measured with the Opacity Lens Meter 701, correlated closely with the visual field changes. Measurement of stray light backscattered from the cataractous lens permits quantitative prediction of the influence of cataract on the visual field.
