Abstract
Raman spectrum of a diabetic cataractous lens was measured and compared with the spectrum of a normal lens. These spectra showed an appreciable difference in the relative intensity of the tyrosine doublet near 840 cm−1, indicating that the strength of hydrogen bonding by some tyrosyl residues changed upon lens opacification.Keywords
