The application of the uniform theory of differential equations with two turning-points is considered in relation to the modal eigenvalue problem for an inhomogeneous dielectric waveguide (optical fibre). Expressions are deduced for the leading asymptotic order term for the eigenvalue for modes not close to cut-off.
