ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of color Doppler ultrasound to diagnose senile cataract and complication.Method Color Doppler ultrasound were used to check and analyze 185 eyes senile cataract of 120 patients and were compared with slit-lamp.Results In initial phase of senile cataract,the accuracy of ultrasonography was lower than slit-lamp.The false negative ratio of ultrasound was 15.22%(7/46).In middle and last phase of senile cataract,the relevant ratio of ultrasonography Was 100.00%(139/139).Conclusions The diagnosis sensitivity of color Doppler ultrasound in senile cataract is similar with slit-lamp.Ultrasound is the first choice to diagnose senile cataract in middle and last phase,especially when it is not seen by funduscope.Color Doppler ultrasound is an important way to diagnose senile cataract and complication.
