title: [The research progress of straylight in human eyes].
abstract: As an influencing factor of visual quality, straylight is a functional measure of the effect of light scatter across the retina. The phenomenon depends on the refractive index and the turbidity of the ocular media. This light scattering reduces the contrast of the image projected on the retina, and thus decreases the quality of vision. The review focuses on the concept and classification of straylight, and the relationship between straylight and visual quality.
