Abstract

The birefringence of the human eye with the use of the polarized light have been investigated. The experiments were conducted in an eye clinic on patients eyes in vivo. A video camera was focused on the iris of the non-dilated pupil. The polarized light beam that passed twice through the cornea and is scattered from the iris of the human eye, generates a polarized pattern on that iris. Such patterns were recorded and analyzed. The results which contribute to better understanding of the cornea behavior are discussed.
