    Definition of cataract Opacity of the lens, which occurs when fluid gathers between

    the lens fibers.When eyes work properly:

    Light passes through the cornea and the pupil to the lens.

    The lens focuses light & producingclear, sharp images on theretina.

    As a cataract develops, the lens becomes clouded, whichscatters the light and prevents a sharply defined image fromreaching retina. As a result, vision becomes blurred.

    Age -related cataract

    It is the Most commonly occurred.Classified according to:

    Morphological Classification

    Nuclear

    Cortical

    Subcapsular

    Christmas tree uncommon

    Maturity classification

    Immature Cataract

    Nuclear cataract Most common type

    Age-related

    Occur in the center of the lens. In its early stages, as the lens changes theway it focuses light, patient may becomemore nearsighted or even experience atemporary improvement in reading vision.Some people actually stop needing their

    glasses. Unfortunately, this so-called 2nd sightdisappears as the lens gradually turns moredensely yellow & further clouds vision.

    As the cataract progresses, the lens mayeven turn brown. Advanced discoloration

    can lead to difficulty distinguishing betweenshades of blue & purple.

  • 8/2/2019 Medical Optics

    Cortical cataract

    Occur on the outer edge of the lens (cortex).

    Begins as whitish, wedge-shaped opacities or streaks.

    Its slowly progresses, the streaks extend to the center and

    interfere with light passing through the center of the lens.

    Problems with glare are common with this type of cataract.

    Symptoms

    A cataract usually developsslowly, so:

    Causes no pain.

    Cloudiness may affect only asmall part of the lens

    People may be unaware of anyvision loss.

    Over time, however, as thecataract grows larger, it:

    Clouds more the lens

    Distorts the light passingthrough the lens.

    Impairs vision

    Reduced visual acuity (near

    and distant object)

    Glare in sunshine or with

    street/car lights.

    Distortion of lines.

    Monocular diplopia.

    Altered colours ( white

    objects appear yellowish) Not associated with pain,

    discharge or redness of the

    eye

  • 8/2/2019 Medical Optics

    10/254

    Signs

    Reduced acuity.

    An abnormally dim red reflex is seen when the eye is viewedwith an ophthalmoscope.

    Reduced contrast sensitivity can be measured by the

    ophthalmologist. Only sever dense cataracts causing severely impaired visioncause a white pupil.

    After pupils have been dilated, slit lamp examination shows thetype of cataract.

    Treatment

    Glasses: Cataract alters the refractive power of the natural lens

    so glasses may allow good vision to be maintained.

    Surgical removal: when visual acuity can't be improved with

    glasses.

    Surgical techniques

    Phacoemulsification method.

    Extracapsular method. Intracapsular method

  • 8/2/2019 Medical Optics

    13/254

    Pre-op assesments

    General health evaluation including blood pressure check

    Assessment of patients ability to co-operate with theprocedure and lie reasonably flat during surgery

    Instruction on eye drop instillation

    The eyes should have a normal pressure, or any pre-existingglaucoma should be adequately controlled on medications.

    An operating microscope is needed, in order to reach the lens,a small corneal incision is made close to the limbus for the

    phaco-probe. It is important to appreciate anterior chamber depth and to

    keep all instruments away from the corneal endothelium in theplane of the iris.

    OCT: Basic Principles

    Three-dimensional imaging technique with highspatial resolution and large penetration depth even

    in highly scattering media

    Based on measurements of the reflected light fromtissue discontinuities

    e.g. the epidermis-dermis junction.

    Based on interferometry

    interference between the reflected light and the reference

    beam is used as a coherence gate to isolate light from

    specific depth.

    Superluminescent diodes (SLDs)Definition: broadband semiconductor light sources based on

    superluminescence(Acronym: SLD)

    Superluminescent diodes (also sometimes called superluminescence diodes or

    superluminescent LEDs) are optoelectronic semiconductor devices which are

    emitting broadband optical radiation based on superluminescence. They are

    similar to laser diodes, containing an electrically driven p-n junction and an

    optical waveguide, but lack optical feedback, so that no laser action can occur.Optical feedback, which could lead to the formation ofcavity modes and thus

    to pronounced structures in the spectrum and/or to spectral narrowing, is

    suppressed by means of tilting the output facet relative to the waveguide, and

    can be suppressed further with anti-reflection coatings.

    Applanation tonometry

    Theoretical Basis

  • 8/2/2019 Medical Optics

    96/254

    Applanation tonometry is based on the Inbert-Fick

    principle.

    Which states that for an ideal sphere the pressure (P)

    inside the sphere is equal to the force (F) required to

    applanate (flatten) its surface, divided by the area (A)

    of flattening:P = F/A or F = PA.

    The ideal sphere is dry, thin-walled, and readily

    flexible.

    The cornea, which is not even a true sphere, is none of

    these three. Because of this, there are two other

    significant forces at work.

  • 8/2/2019 Medical Optics

    97/254

    The force of capillary attraction (T) between the

    tonometer head and the tear film is additive tothe external force.

    In addition, a force (C), independent of IOP, is

    required to flatten the relatively inflexible

    cornea. Thus,

    F = PA , becomes

    F + T = PA + C , orP =( F + T - C) / A

    The A is actually on the interior surface of the

  • 8/2/2019 Medical Optics

    98/254

    The A, is actually on the interior surface of the

    cornea.

    The Goldmann applanator is designed so that Ais equal to 7.35 mm 2.

    To achieve this, the diameter of flattening of the

    cornea is 3.06 mm.

    With this value for A, the opposing forces of

    capillary attraction and corneal inflexibility

    cancel out.P = F / 7.35 mm 2

  • 8/2/2019 Medical Optics

    99/254

    In addition, with this value for A the IOP in

    millimeters of mercury (mmHg) is equal to tentimes the force applied to the cornea in grams,

    which is a convenient conversion.

    Since only 0.5 m{mu} is displaced from the eyeand the additional increase in pressure induced

    in the eye from its steady state by the

    tonometer tip is negligible, applanation

    tonometery is not significantly affected by

    ocular rigidity.

    Light Detection - The Retina

    There are two types of photoreceptor cells in the retina:

  • 8/2/2019 Medical Optics

    193/254

    There are two types ofphotoreceptor cells in the retina:

    cones and rods. The cones are responsible for sharpcolour vision in daylight. The rods provide vision in dim

    light.

    Near the centre of the retina is a small depressionabout 0.3 mm in diameter which is called thefovea. It

    consists entirely ofcones packed closely together. Each

    coneis about 2min diameter. Most detailed vision is

    obtained on the part of the image that is projected onthefovea. When the eye scans a scene, it projects the

    region of greatest interest onto thefovea.

    Light Detection - The Retina

    The region around thefovea contains both cones and

  • 8/2/2019 Medical Optics

    194/254

    g f

    rods. The structure of the retina becomes more coarseaway from thefovea. The proportion ofconesdecreases until, near the edge, the retina is composedentirely ofrods.

    In thefovea, each cone has its own path to the opticnerve. This allows the perception of details in theimage projected on thefovea.

    Away from thefovea, a number ofreceptors are

    attached to the same nerve path. Hence the resolutiondecreases, but the sensitivity to light and movementincreases.

    Light Detection - The RetinaWith the structure of the retina in mind, let us examinehow we view a scene from a distance of about 2 m

  • 8/2/2019 Medical Optics

    195/254

    how we view a scene from a distance of about 2 m.

    From this distance, at anyone instant, we can see mostdistinctly an object only about 4 cm in diameter. Anobject of this size is projected into an image about thesize of the fovea. Objects about 20 cm in diameter areseen clearly but not with complete sharpness. The

    periphery of large objects appears progressively lessdistinct.

    Thus, for example, if we focus on a person's face 2 maway, we can see clearly the facial details, but we can

    pick out most clearly only a subsection about the sizeof the mouth. At the same time, we are aware of thepersons arms and legs, but we cannot detect, forexample, details about the persons shoes.

    Respond to low illumination (night vision)

    About 120 million per eye, their highest concentration is at about 20 from the fovea

    Hundreds of rods connect to each nerve fibre, hence low resolution

    Resolution of the Eye

    So far in our discussion of image formation we

  • 8/2/2019 Medical Optics

    202/254

    have used geometric optics, which neglects thediffraction of light.

    Geometric optics assumes that light from a pointsource is focused into a point image. This is not

    the case. When light passes through an aperturesuch as the iris, diffraction occurs, and the wavespreads around the edges of the aperture.

    As a result, light is not focused into a sharp pointbut into a diffraction pattern consisting of a disksurrounded by rings of diminishing intensity.

    Diffraction from a circular aperture (Airy disc)

  • 8/2/2019 Medical Optics

    203/254

    Diffraction Intensity from a square aperture

  • 8/2/2019 Medical Optics

    204/254

    Resolution of the Eye

    If light originates from two point sources that are closetogether their image diffraction disks may overlap

  • 8/2/2019 Medical Optics

    205/254

    together, their image diffraction disks may overlap,making it impossible to distinguish the two points.An optical system can resolve two points if theircorresponding diffraction patterns are distinguishable.

    This criterion alone predicts that two points are

    resolvable if the angular separation between the linesjoining the points to the centre of the lens is equal to orgreater than a critical value given by sin = 1.22/dwhere is the wavelength of light and d the diameter ofthe aperture.

    For an iris diameter of 0.5 cm and green light (500nm),

    = 1.22x10-4 radians.

    Resolution of the Eye

    Experiments have shown that the eye does not

  • 8/2/2019 Medical Optics

    206/254

    p y

    perform this well.Most people cannot resolve two points with anangular separation of less than 5 x10-4 radians.

    Clearly there are other factors that limit theresolution of the eye.

    Imperfections in the lens system of the eyecertainly impede the resolution. But perhapseven more important are the limitationsimposed by the structure of the retina.

    Resolution of the EyeThe cones in the closely packedfovea are about 2 m indiameter. To resolve two points, the light from each pointmust be focused on a different cone and the excited cones

  • 8/2/2019 Medical Optics

    207/254

    must be focused on a differentcone and the excited cones

    must be separated from each other by at least one conethat is not excited.Thus at the retina, the images of two resolved points areseparated by at least 4 m. A single unexcited conebetween points of excitation implies an angular resolution

    of about 3 x 10-4

    radians (using nodal point 15mm fromretina).Some people with acute vision do resolve points with thisseparation, but most people do not. We can explain thelimits of resolution demonstrated by most normal eyes if

    we assume that, to perceive distinct point images, theremust be three unexcited cones between the areas ofexcitation. The angular resolution is then, as observed, 5 x10-4 radians.

    Resolution of the Eye

    Let us now calculate the size of the smallest detail that

  • 8/2/2019 Medical Optics

    208/254

    the unaided eye can resolve. To observe the smallestdetail, the object must be brought to the closest pointon which the eye can focus. Assuming that thisdistance is 20 cm from the eye, the angle subtendedby two points separated by a distancexis:

    tan-1(/2) = (x/2)/20.

    If is very small, this becomes = x/20. Because thesmallest resolvable angle is 5 x 10-4 radians the

    smallest resolvable detail x is 0.1 mm (5 x 10-4

    x 20).Using the same approach facial features such as thewhites of the eye are resolvable from as far as 20m.

    Sensitivity of the Eye

  • 8/2/2019 Medical Optics

    209/254

    The sensation of vision occurs when light is absorbedby the photosensitive rods and cones.

    At low levels of light, the main photoreceptors are

    the rods. Light produces chemical changes in the

    photoreceptors which reduce their sensitivity.For maximum sensitivity the eye must be kept in the

    dark (dark adapted) for about 30 minutes to restore

    the composition of the photoreceptors.

    Sensitivity of the Eye

    Under optimum conditions, the eye is a very sensitive

  • 8/2/2019 Medical Optics

    210/254

    detector of light.The human eye, for example, responds to light from a

    candle as far away as 20 km.

    At the threshold of vision, the light intensity is so small

    that we must describe it in terms of photons.

    Experiments indicate that an individual photoreceptor

    (rod) is sensitive to 1 quantum of light. This, however,

    does not mean that the eye can see a single photonincident on the cornea. At such low levels of light, the

    process of vision is statistical.

    Sensitivity of the Eye

    In fact, measurements show that about 60quanta must arrive at the cornea for the eye to

  • 8/2/2019 Medical Optics

    211/254

    quanta must arrive at the cornea for the eye toperceive a flash.

    Approximately half the light is absorbed orreflected by the ocular medium.

    The 30 or so photons reaching the retina arespread over an area containing about 500 rods.

    It is estimated that only 5 of these photons areactually absorbed by the rods.

    It seems, therefore, that at least 5photoreceptors must be stimulated to perceivelight.

    Sensitivity of the Eye

    The energy in a single photon is very small.

  • 8/2/2019 Medical Optics

    212/254

    gy g p y

    For green light at 500 nm, it is (using E=hc/)

    4 x 10-19 Joules

    This amount of energy, however, is sufficient to

    initiate a chemical change in a single molecule

    which then triggers the sequence of events that

    leads to the generation of the nerve impulse

    Vision cannot be explained entirely by the physicaloptics of the eye.

    optics of the eye.

    There are many more photoreceptors in the retina thanfibres in the optic nerve. It is, therefore, evident thatthe image projected on the retina is not simplytransmitted point by point to the brain.

    A considerable amount of signal processing occurs inthe neural network of the retina before the signals aretransmitted to the brain.

    The neural network "decides" which aspects of theimage are most important and stresses thetransmission of those features
