As the crystalline lens ages and as cataracts develop, highly concentrated proteins in lens
fiber cells undergo rearrangements leading to substantial increases in scattered light. By …

Abstract Changes in the lens will cause fluctuations in refractive index which, in turn, will
increase the scattering of light. Such alterations were studied by quantitative …

In most types of senile cataracts the physical basis for opacification is increased light
scattering. The scattering is caused by variations in refractive index within the lens. Local …

The eye lens contains no vasculature and has no direct innervation. Its simple arrangement
of long thin fibre-like cells, containing proteins and water, is organised to maintain …

Cataracts were induced in rat lenses by irradiation with x-rays generated at 1S5 kv. A single
exposure of 1,000 τ or 500 τ was directed toward one eye, the other being shielded and …

The distribution of the scattering coefficient (as defined in the appendix) at a wavelength of
647· 1 nm along the visual axis of human eye lenses was investigated using a specially …

We propose a new method to measure in vivo nuclear transmittance using scanning
photometry, thus complementing its present application in measuring lens scatter and …

PURPOSE: To determine quantitatively dependence on the wavelength and angle, as a
function of depth, of light scattering in the human lens. To compare the result for forward …

A major structure/function relationship in the eye lens is that between the constituent
proteins, the crystallins and the optical property of refractive index. Structural breakdown that …

Purpose. To characterize the cataractous state of the living lens by a single parameter,
derived from in vivo dynamic light scattering measurements. Methods. Dynamic light …
