The effects of severe keratitis on corneal transmission.
An investigation into the effects of keratitis on corneal light transmission is presented. Transmission data from 9 diseased corneas are compared to those of 22 normal corneas in the 0.3-0.8 micron spectral range. Rhesus monkey corneas were used in the study. Several color photographs illustrate varieties of idiopathic keratitis in rhesus monkeys.
