Measurement of correlation between transmission and scattering during wound healing in hen corneas

Abstract: The aim of this work is to provide experimental data for corneal transparency and scattering to help create a more complete model of corneal transparency. The scattered light in 96 healing hen corneas was measured for three wavelengths by a scatterometer constructed in the Optics Laboratory (The University of Valladolid, Spain). With the help of mirrors and beamsplitters, the light from the three lasers is directed toward the cell containing the sample to be measured. The measured scattered light varies betwee… Show more

“…However, the transmittance values remained lower than control corneas, indicating that the stromal structure was not fully restored. Our device only measured direct transmissivity, which is related to an increase in scattered light (Mar et al, 2009) that we did not directly detect. The high level of scattering that remained in the severely injured corneas is probably due to the absence of the normal stromal architecture, which was partially replaced by the cells that appear in the healing process (Mar et al, 2009) and the lacunae or voids that appear in the stroma (McCally et al, 2007).…”

Direct measurement of light scattering during the wound healing process could support our transmittance data and give more information about stromal restoration after an alkali burn.…”
