This research aims to explore the age-related chemical and physical changes in the human lens and their impact on vision.
Conducted spectroscopic studies including UV absorption and NMR on human lenses
Measured lens fluorescence in vivo across multiple decades using UV slitlamp densitography
Monitored organophosphate metabolism in lenses with surface scanning NMR
Observed an increase in lens fluorescence correlating with age across normal subjects
Chronic UV exposure linked to an increase in photochemically induced chromophores
Demonstrated the feasibility of using biophysical methods to assess age-related lens parameters
