Abstract

A number of multilayer, gradient index models with distinct ditribution of refractive index within a crystalline lens of the eye have been proposed and analyzed by optical ray tracing method based on several experimental data(1)(2). This paper report the experimental method and results of visualizing the optical pass through the excised crystalline lens using the parallel laser beams which were observed with and without Sheimpflug's principle. It was concluded that this method may be applicable to the living human eye.
