By Hakimah Khani Binti Suhaimi
1. Examination of the lens by direct ophthalmoscopy
Normal Red Reflex
2. Abnormal lens features by direct ophthalmoscopy
2. Abnormal lens features by direct ophthalmoscopy
1. General.* a) Loss of normal red reflex.* (Fig. 3.9-3.11) b) Dark spots in red reflex.*c) Abnormal color of red reflex.*d) Spontaneous dislocation of lens.*
2. Lens abnormalities found in important ocular diseases.** a) Cataract (clouding or opacification of lens).**b) Implanted artificial intraocular lens.**

1 b) Dark spots in red reflex
• Seen in congenital cataract.
1 c) Abnormal color of red reflex
• Probably due to cataract in retinoblastoma.
1 d) Spontaneous dislocation of lens (Luxation lentis)
with visible zonula fiberswith visible equator of lens
• A crescent-shaped red reflex seen in Marfan’s syndrome.

2 a) Cataract
• The most common cause of reversible blindness.• The degree of visual disabilities depends on the size and location of the
opacity. Axial opacities involving the nuclear or central subscapular areas cause much more disabling visual loss than the peripheral opacities
• This is a patient’s left eye.• The pupil is dilated.• Two white dots can be seen
under the slit-lamp.
Cataract: Anterior Polar Cataract Cataract: Mature Cataract
• This is a patient’s left eye.• The pupil is dilated and
covered by white opacity.
• This is the left eye of a patient.• The pupil is dilated.• The abnormality that can be seen here is a central opacity surrounded by
peripheral opacities.

Yellow colaration +
central opacity
• The yellow coloration of the nuclear cataract causes the patient to have yellow vision.
Cataract: Vision Yellow
