[Principles of construction of intelligent devices for early cataract diagnosis on the basis of incoherent fiber-optic converters].

Currently used methods for cataract diagnosis are considered and compared. Principles of construction of novel devices on the basis of incoherent fiber-optic converters are described. These devices can be used for rapid cataract diagnosis during mass-scale prophylactic examination in remote areas. The principle of operation of the device and the procedure for simulating the device operation are described.
