Abstract
A model of the human eye has been used to analyze the radial profiles of light pattern distributions formed in the retina due to scattering caused by cataracts with multilamellar bodies (MLBs) within crystalline lens. This computational model takes into account different parameters such as the particle diameter, the coat size, the particle number, the incident light wavelength and a specific refractive indices. The results show the effect on light scattering by MLBs according to the different parameters. It can be seen that at higher diameter, thinner coating and shorter wavelength, more light is scattered (this can be clearly seen in the results shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3).
