ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

To evaluate the use of the MTI photoscreener (Medical Technology Inc, Iowa City, Iowa) in assessing and documenting lens abnormalities in the pediatric ophthalmology clinic.

METHODS:

MTI photoscreener photographs of pediatric patients with lens abnormalities were taken to assess and document lens opacities and subluxation, to assist with explanations to parents, and to monitor progression of abnormalities. Postoperative photographs were taken to assess opacification of the posterior capsule and contact lens fit.

RESULTS:

Nineteen children with lens abnormalities were examined. Twelve patients underwent surgery and 9 patients had postoperative photoscreener pictures. Illustrative cases are reported.

CONCLUSION:

The MTI photoscreener is a useful adjunct to clinical examination in the assessment and documentation of pediatric lens abnormalities.
