Abstract

An intraocular lens (IOL) is implanted in the eye after a cataract surgery. When an IOL is in an aqueous environment, glistenings that are fluid-filled microvacuoles are often observed. Previously, studies of glistenings involved tedious work of manual glistenings labeling and rough estimation of glistening distribution. This paper proposes a software that can be used for automatic glistenings detection. The software evaluates glistenings appearance in a lens, separating the IOL lens into 3 zones and accurately computingthe average area, density and distribution to assist the user. The results are compared with clinicians hand-drawn ground truth for validation. The proposed GUI front-end is easy to use and very suitable for users who want accurate and quick glistenings detection. Numerical results can be achieved without manual drawing and rough estimation.
