Abstract

Introduction: Presently, the diagnosis of cataracts relies upon the utilization of a slit lamp. This method of examination is inherently subjective, contingent upon the level of expertise possessed by the attending ophthalmologist. That is why our aim was to evaluate lens thickness parameter’s utility for cataract diagnoses. Method: We investigated 1750 patients (age 40 till 75) which were separated in two groups: cataract patients (n=750) and control group (n = 1000). The lens thickness parameter (LT) and anterior chamber depth (ACD) were measured with IOLMaster^® 700 (Zeiss) and analyzes with ANOVA test, The IOLMaster^® 700 is a frequently used device which is utilized for intraocular lens (IOL) measurements. Results: Overall results demonstrates that the cataract groups lens thickness parameter (mean 4.89 ± 0.11mm) was greater than control groups (mean 4.69 ± 0.17mm) and there was a statistically significance between the results (p = 0,01). Control groups ACD results showed similarities with cortical cataract results and there were overlapping (p = 0.15). Conclusion: Lens thickness parameter can be used as an additional criterion to differentiate cataract diagnoses.
