title: In vivo color analysis of human crystalline lenses.
abstract: Indirect measurement in vivo of nuclear color of 64 cataractous eyes was made using a method of image analysis of photographed lenses developed by the authors. The grade of yellow of lens color was characterized by its dominant wavelength and excitation purity in the CIE chromaticity diagram. The differences were small between nuclear color observed from in vivo and in vitro photographs.
