The eye lens is a biological organ which functions as an optical element. What better subject
for a special section of the Journal of Biomedical Optics? The role of the lens in the eye is …

Purpose: The visual phenomenon of radiation of light around a bright light source (“ciliary
corona”, glare, straylight) is known as result of forward light scattering in the eye. The …

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

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 …

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

244 Frederick A. Bettelheim and Ernest L. Siew explain the transparency of the normal lens
and the physical causes that may give rise to cataract formation. Consequently light …

'Transparency of the normal lens and loss of transparency in the cataractous lens are both
incompletely understood. The physical basis for transparency of the normal lens was …

Cataract is the leading cause of blindness in the world, accounting for nearly half of the 38
million cases of blindness worldwide. 1 Age-related cataract is a multifactorial disease, and …

The article discusses the study on the process of light scatter in cataractous lenses. The
study suggested that the physical changes in cold cataract can be characterized as a phase …

Studying the mechanisms that are responsible for the transparency of the lens we see that
multiple factors are involved in the maintenance of lens clarity as well as in …
