title: Hyperacuity test to evaluate vision through dense cataracts; research preliminary to a clinical study. III. Data on normal subjects obtained with and without a pseudo-nuclear cataract 6/60 (20/200) at the Aravind Eye Hospital, Madurai, India.
abstract: Using a recently discussed three-point Vernier alignment test, data were obtained on normal subjects with and without a pseudo-nuclear cataract 6/60 (20/200) at the Aravind Eye Hospital, Madurai, India. This experiment is a critical control exercise. The pseudo-cataract caused measurably and predictably reduced Vernier alignment thresholds, there were no meaningful differences between eyes, and necessary modifications in protocol for a later clinical study were defined.
