Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015101785A1] A method for detecting changes in a human or animal eye comprising: illuminating the eye lens or at least a part thereof using a wavelength suitable for excitation of tryptophan and at least one of its photo- products and/or at least one other fluorescent post-translational modification (PTM); detecting features in the fluorescence associated with an emission stimulated by excitation of the tryptophan and at least one of its photo-products and/or the other fluorescent PTM, and using the detected features to detect modifications and/or structural defects in the lens. A correspomding system for detecting changes in a human or non-human eye is also disclosed.
