Most cataracts, apart from the dense nuclear sclerotic type, interfere with vision by scattering the incident light. The scattering, and therefore the image degradation, may be simulated by a glass lens with petroleum jelly spots pressed on the surface. With such a system, "per cent of cataract" can be controlled by the amount of surface of the glass lens covered with petroleum jelly. The simulated cataract was part of an F-5 lens system which best simulated the eye's geometric optical system with a 3.5 mm. pupil. The study determined the transfer function of the simulated cataractous lens as a function of the per cent of cataract. Photographic and microdensitometric techniques are used.. The results show the precise relationship between per cent cataract, resolution, and contrast. For example, contrast is first noted to drop for bar targets of small angular subtense with a 40 per cent cataract whereas, contrast remains constant until an 80 per cent cataract is reached if bar targets of large angular subtense are viewed.
