Abstract

We develop a computational model to analyze the effect of scattering on image formation in the human eye with cataracts. With this model we compare the scattered light on the retina and in the exit pupil of the eye and find significant differences in the effects observed. We found that the effect of scattering due to the retina reduces the effect of scattering due to cataracts in the second pass, and the most important parameter that affects scattering is the size of the particles.
