The Oxford Clinical Cataract Classification and Grading System

J M Sparrow et al. Int Ophthalmol. 1986 Dec.

Abstract

A composite slit-lamp based system for the clinical classification and grading of cataract is described. Cataract features are classified morphologically, and individual features are graded by comparison with standard diagrams mounted adjacent to the slit-lamp. Attention has been paid to relevant aspects of measurement theory, with equal interval steps between the grades. The image degrading effect of the cataract is assessed using a 'resolution target projection ophthalmoscope'. The method may be used in conjunction with photographic and image analysing techniques.
