Lens Opacities Classification System II (LOCS II)
Abstract
The Lens Opacities Classification System, version II (LOCS II), uses a set of colored slit-lamp and retroillumination transparencies to grade different degrees of nuclear, cortical, and subcapsular cataract. The system uses four nuclear standards for grading nuclear opalescence and color, five cortical standards, and four subcapsular standards. The LOCS II can be used to grade patients' cataracts at the slit lamp or to grade slit-lamp and retroillumination photographs; it is easy to learn and can be applied consistently by different observers. We obtained very good interobserver reproducibility of the clinical gradings at the slit lamp, excellent intraobserver reproducibility, very good to excellent interobserver reproducibility of photographic gradings, and good agreement between clinical and photographic gradings. The LOCS II is potentially useful for both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies of cataract.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
