Using Optical Quality Analysis System for predicting surgical parameters in age-related cataract patients.

ABSTRACT: The Optical Quality Analysis System (OQAS, Visiometrics) provides objective measurements of image formed onto retina, by combining quantification of ocular media transparency and of optical aberrations. In order to evaluate its contribution in the assessment of age-related cataract, we conducted a monocentric clinical study to determine the relationships between clinical grading of lens opacity, OQAS parameters, and parameters required for cataract surgery by phacoemulsification with ultrasound (called "phacodynamics"). Clinical parameters were: best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA, expressed as Log of minimal angle resolution (logMAR)) and the lens opacity classification system III (LOCS III) as a gold standard determined by two independent observers who graded total cataract and nuclear, c
