PURPOSE: To document quantitatively the fluorescence in the human lens relevant to its
interference with visual function. To explain quantitatively the experimental findings relative …

Measurements were made of the spectral transmissivity of freshly isolated normal human
crystalline lenses. Parameters included age, sex and the intensity of the measuring …

A simple quantitative and reproducible method for evaluating lens transmission (λ= 490 and
530 nm) is described. It is based on the measurement of autofluorescence in the anterior …

Irradiation of the primate lens by near-ultraviolet wavelengths results in a blue fluorescence,
which can be an intraocular source of veiling glare. This study quantitated the fluorescence …

Irradiation of the ocular lens of numerous species by near-UV or short-visible wavelengths
induces a blue-green fluorescence, which can be a source of intraocular veiling glare …

RESULTS The intensity of the fluorescence was found throughout to be of the same order in
different individuals of the same species but there were considerable differences between …

In human lens there are two major types of fluorescence, one of which is emitted around 340
nm when excited at 290 nm (purple fluorescence), and the other with activation and …

This paper reviews previous work done to demonstrate the clinical relevance of the
measurement of bluegreen autofluorescence and light transmission of the ocular lens (l …

The time-dependence of fluorescence decay has been measured for whole human lenses
and for some lens protein fractions, using a pulsed nanosecond light source. Two …

It has long been known that the lens shows a marked fluorescence in ultraviolet light
(Regnauld, 1858). This fluorescence is most intense at wavelengths of 360-370 mμ. In man …
