OBJECTIVE To evaluate the use of the MTI photoscreener (Medical Technology Inc, Iowa City, Iowa) in assessing and documenting lens abnormalities in the pediatric ophthalmology clinic. METHODS MTI photoscreener photographs of pediatric patients with lens abnormalities were taken to assess and document lens opacities and subluxation, to assist with explanations to parents, and to monitor progression of abnormalities. Postoperative photographs were taken to assess opacification of the posterior capsule and contact lens fit. RESULTS Nineteen children with lens abnormalities were examined. Twelve patients underwent surgery and 9 patients had postoperative photoscreener pictures. Illustrative cases are reported. CONCLUSIONS The MTI photoscreener is a useful adjunct to clinical examination in the assessment and documentation of pediatric lens abnormalities.

D007906	Lens Subluxation	Incomplete rupture of the zonule with the displaced lens remaining behind the pupil. In dislocation, or complete rupture, the lens is displaced forward into the anterior chamber or backward into the vitreous body. When congenital, this condition is known as ECTOPIA LENTIS.

D007908	Lens, Crystalline	A transparent, biconvex structure of the EYE, enclosed in a capsule and situated behind the IRIS and in front of the vitreous humor (VITREOUS BODY). It is slightly overlapped at its margin by the ciliary processes. Adaptation by the CILIARY BODY is crucial for OCULAR ACCOMMODATION.	Eye Lens,Lens, Eye,Crystalline Lens

D002386	Cataract	Partial or complete opacity on or in the lens or capsule of one or both eyes, impairing vision or causing blindness.
