Cataract quantification using swept-source optical coherence tomography

The stated purpose of the study by Br ás et al.1 was to develop and evaluate a cataract quantification method using a swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) device (IOLMaster 700, Carl Zeiss Meditec AG). We were disappointed that the authors failed to cite our article published in your journal in December 2017,2 well befor e the submission of their paper at the end of March 2018. Our abstract explicitly states the purpose of our study: “To assess a new objective cataract grading method based on lens densitometry on swept-source optical coherence tomography…scans provided by the IOLMaster 700.” We showed that it was possible to perform grayscale analysis from the B-scans provided by the IOLMaster 700 to grade cataract.
