Intraocular light scatter as modeled through a stratified medium.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intraocular light scatter is modeled through a stratified medium. It is shown that the eye lens possesses properties of an interference filter. In conditions that may mimic opacification, as found with cataract formation, such a filter may have stop zones with reflectance up to 1 in the band of visible light.

Combining in vitro test methods for measuring light scatter in intraocular lenses
Intraocular lenses (IOLs) are designed for implantation for vision correction following cataract removal. The IOL typically replaces a cataractous natural lens that exhibits very high levels of light scattering. The amount of scattering is significantly reduced with an IOL, though it is rarely quantified and both the surface and the bulk of the intraocular lens may contribute to light scatter a...
متن کاملInfluence of macular pigment optical density spatial distribution on intraocular scatter
PURPOSE This study evaluated the summed measures of macular pigment optical density (MPOD) spatial distribution and their effects on intraocular scatter using a commercially available device (C-Quant, Oculus, USA). METHODS A customized heterochromatic flicker photometer (cHFP) device was used to measure MPOD spatial distribution across the central 16° using a 1° stimulus. MPOD was calculated ...
متن کاملIntraocular Light Scatter in Patients with Retinitis Pigmentosa
We evaluated the level of intraocular light scatter in a group of patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) who had minimal or no lens opacities, since such patients not infrequently complain of photoaversion. Intraocular light scatter was measured in 20 patients with RP who were < 60 years of age and who had no more than a trace of posterior subcapsular (PSC) lens opacity by slit-lamp evaluation...
متن کاملConfocal fundus imaging with a scanning laser ophthalmoscope in eyes with cataract.
AIMS/BACKGROUND The study aimed to determine the influence of increased intraocular light scatter on the contrast in scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) images and to examine to what extent SLO images can visualise the fundus through media opacities due to cataract. METHODS Intraocular light scatter was estimated from measurements of letter contrast sensitivity before and after cataract surge...
متن کاملLight scatter and disability glare after intraocular lens implantation.
F orward light scatter measurement provides information about optical imperfections as the cause of glare disability. Glare disability refers to a reduction in visual performance caused by a glare source, resulting in retinal contrast loss secondary to intraocular stray light. Lens extraction reverses the strong age increase in stray light, which is considered an independent source of symptoms....
