Abstract
The intensity of light scattered from nine rabbit corneas was measured as a function of scattering angle and polarization of the incident light beam. The stroma was found to be largely responsible for scattering in the backward direction, while the epithelium scattered more strongly in the forward direction. The effect of an epithelial edema was to increase the scattering in the forward direction considerably.
