Simulation of Multiple Light Scattering in Intraocular lens with glistenings by T-Matrix

Glistening is fluid-filled micro vacuoles in intraocular lens (IOL) that cause light scattering and may affect the quality of vision. A cataractous natural lens is replaced with intraocular lens in which light scattering occurs due to temperature changes in human body overtime. The light scatter contribution induced by microvacuoles was calculated and simulated by using T-Matrix (transition matrix) theory. This paper aims to simulate total electric field scattering by spherical glistenings. The simulation can visualize how glistening particles are in IOL depending upon the different grade of glistenings. Moreover, this is the first attempt to apply multiple light scattering by T-Matrix method in glistenings of IOL.
