Brief Summary:
This study will use a method called dynamic light scattering DLS to study the lens of the eye in young normal subjects The DLS device uses a very dim laser light to study the lens of the eye It detects proteins in the lens identifying early changes that may make the device useful in future cataract studies This study will use DLS to examine the characteristics of proteins in healthy young lenses that can be used for comparison with lenses in older people and people with cataracts
Normal volunteers aged 5 to 21 years may be eligible for this study Participants undergo the following procedures
Medical history
Eye examination with dilation to include
Measurement of visual acuity
Examination of pupils and eye movements
Examination of the front of the eye cornea lens with a slit lamp bio-microscope
Examination of retina with an ophthalmoscope instrument with a strong light and magnifying lens

Detailed Description:
The NASA-NEI Dynamic Light Scattering DLS device detects early molecular lens changes before clinical means are able to detect any lens changes in animal and limited human studies This ability will make it very useful in future clinical studies of cataract etiology as well as treatment A recently concluded clinical cross sectional study of lenses in vivo using the DLS device showed good reproducibility and good correlation with clinical cataract grading It also detected remarkable changes in the lens crystalline proteins with aging and with cataract formation We therefore propose to study the characteristics of the crystalline proteins in pristine young normal lenses with DLS for comparison with aging and cataractous lens findings We will examine 30 young normal subjects perform undilated eye examinations and obtain DLS measurements of their lenses We will then use these DLS measurements for comparison with the previously obtained aging and cataract DLS measurements to obtain normative data for future lens and cataract clinical studies
