Analyzing optical density and light absorption in the crystalline lens, suggesting uniformity across ages.

The study aims to quantify the optical density of the crystalline lens and analyze its wavelength dependence.
Measured optical density of noncataractous crystalline lenses across a range of wavelengths.
Utilized transmittance data from lenses of subjects aged 21 to 63 years.
Derived a spectrum for lens pigment absorption based on collected data.
Identified two main terms influencing optical density depending on wavelength.
Found that light scattering is proportional to 1/λ².
Showed that absorption by lens pigments is significant at wavelengths ≤ 500 nm and is similar across different lenses.

Richard P. Hemenger (1982) studied this question.
