Abstract: Purpose: The aim of this work is to evaluate the performance of a Haploscopic Brightness Comparison (HBC) method, quantifying cataract degree (A new system to measure intraocular scattering based on brightness, Barrionuevo et al., ARVO, 2007). In order to validate the HBC, two commercial systems were used: the OQAS  (Visiometrics, Spain) that determines the Objective Scatter Index (OSI), and the C-Quant (Oculus, Germany) that determines the stray-light parameter (log S). We analyse the obtained data from HBC in reference to the OSI and log S scales.
