Abstract:
Since the lens grows layer upon layer one can estimate the age of a posterior subcapsular cataract by its thickness and distance from the posterior capsule. An artist's depiction of several examples are given. It is helpful for the ophthalmologist to draw in pencil the appearance of the PSC as seen with a +10D lens in the ophthalmoscope.
