<strong>ARVO</strong> 2013 Annual Meeting Abstracts by Scientific Section/Group – <strong>Visual</strong> <strong>Psychophysics</strong> / <strong>Physiological</strong> <strong>Optics</strong>Purpose: To perform clinical measurements of intraocular scatteringin cataractous patients bymeans of different available commercial instruments that havebecome common in clinical practiceMethods: Intraocular scattered light was measured by means of twodifferent available commercial instruments: the CQuant system(Oculus), which provides an absolute intraocular scattering value(log(s)) (Van der Berg et al Ophthal. Physiol Opt. 2009), and theOQAS (Visiometrics), which uses the Objective Scatter Index (OSI)parameter (Artal el al. Plos One 2011) obtained from the double-passretinal image.78 cataractous eyes of 52 patients were included in the study (37 righteyes, and 41 left eyes), 41 female and 37 male with a mean ± SD inage of 68.24 ± 8.3 years (range: 47 to 85 years), spherical manifestrefraction ranged from -8.00 to +5.75D and the cylinder from 0.00 to3.00D, best spectacle-corrected visual acuity in the logMAR scale of0.17±0.27 (1.25 to -0.20). The grade and type of cataract was: 24eyes of nuclear cataract (30.4%), 27 of mixed nuclear (34.2%), 9 eyesof cortical (11.4%) and 18 of posterior subcapsular (24.1%). CSF wasalso measured using CSV-1000 (Vector VisionResults: Considering all types of cataract, the Pearson correlationbetween log(s) and OSI is statistically significant (r=0.339 andp=0.002). For high degree of cataract and high OSI values (OSI>8)inconsistencies appear (normally low values of log(s)). Removingthis values a better correlation (r=0.559 and p
