Patent number: 9572490Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for measuring ocular scattering, comprising the steps of: sequentially projecting images from an extensive light source, corresponding to different visual angles, onto the retina; recording the output light in a camera or detector once it has passed through the eye twice; calculating the intensity at the center of each recorded image; calculating the PSF for each angle from the previous intensities; and calculating the average of the value of the PSF between the angles. The invention also relates to a system for carrying out said method. The invention can be used to measure the intensity of the scattered light in an objective manner.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2012Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: UNIVERSIDAD DE MURCIAInventors: Pablo Artal Soriano, Guillermo Perez Sanchez, Juan Manuel Bueno Garcia, Harilaos Ginis
