Autofluorescence of the crystalline lens in early and late onset diabetes.

Journal article

Blue/green autofluorescence (excitation around 420 to 430 nm, emission around 520 nm) of the crystalline lens has been studied by an in vivo photographic method in two populations of diabetics and controls. The populations consisted of a geographically based survivor group of 161 mixed early and late onset diabetics (and 133 non-diabetic controls) and a second group of 104 early onset insulin dependent diabetics (and 138 non-diabetic controls), the latter all with non-cataractous lenses.
