Optical Characteristics of Corneal Nanostructure According to the Angle of Collagen-fiber-layer Arrangement

Myoung Hee Lee and Young Chul Kim

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

Collagen fibers tens of nanometers in size, which constitute most of the corneal volume of the human eye, are layered in a uniform direction, and adjacent fiber layers are arranged at an angle of 90° to each other. According to the results of this study, the transmittance at 45° of interlayer rotation angle is highest, and higher than that of the 90° body structure. The transmittance is examined, concerning the polarization state of the incident light; circularly polarized light case shows higher transmittance than linearly polarized. Through this, a simulation to confirm the deformed structure of collagen fibers, which show higher transmittance than the anatomical structure of the cornea, is attempted.
