PURPOSE: To improve visualization of exfoliation material in standard color photographs by image analysis. METHODS: Standard anterior segment color photographs taken from 17 patients with known exfoliation were subjected to film scanning with a maximum accuracy of 3175 dpi. RESULTS: Before image scanning, visualization of exfoliation was classified as barely visible in ten (59%) patients and clearly visible in seven (41%) patients. After the image scanning, exfoliation material became clearly visible in 13 (76%) patients and could easily be demonstrated. CONCLUSION: Diagnosis of exfoliation material can be improved by standard film scanning
