As part of investigating the human perception of polarized light, Haidinger’s brushes (HB) is well-known optical phenomena. Although differences in the human polarization perception were well known there was a limited quantifying to them. This paper presents a 3D Stokes model of the human polarized light perception, views the human perception of polarized light as a multivariable applied optics problem to simulation and explored the optical phenomena of Haidinger’s brushes. The images comparison verifies that the simulation patterns and detected images are consistent which proves the model is appropriate for simulating polarization perception of the human eye. Then this paper explored the optical limitations of perception and macula density. The combination of the 3D Stokes model and experimental verification opens up new possibilities to become an early diagnostic method for eye polarization sensitivity and macular degeneration. The objective is to give purpose and new mathematics understanding to the biomedical optical phenomenon.
