The specular transmittance spectrum of human corneas is studied using a confocal geometry set-up. The comparison of the obtained spectrum with the total transmittance spectrum permits the determination of the stromal scattering spectrum of pathological corneas. The dependence of the scattering cross section on wavelength dependence is analyzed.
