Abstract

PURPOSE: Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) is a noninvasive method for assessing anterior segment anatomy. Previous studies were prone to intergrader variability, lacked assessment of the lens-iris diaphragm, and excluded pediatric subjects. Lens status classification is an objective task applicable in pediatric and adult populations. We developed and validated a neural network to classify lens status from UBM images.
