Abstract: Spectral dependences of absorption coefficient, scattering coefficient, anisotropy factor and reduced scattering coefficient for in vitro human eye lenses of different cataract type are investigated. The spectra of absorption coefficient and reduced scattering coefficient were obtained for the spectral range 400–2300 nm, and the spectra of scattering coefficient and scattering anisotropy factor – for the spectral range 400–1800 nm. The regions of wavelengths within which the spectra of the studied optical characteristics of the human eye lens are not statistically significantly different for samples with different stages of cataract maturity and, conversely, within which they are statistically significantly different, are determined.
