Claim 8:
9. A computer-implemented method of determining a scattering spectrum of an eye, comprising:
receiving data from a detector indicative of a reflected wave of radiation reflected from the retina, wherein the reflected wave of radiation is formed by an incident wave of masked radiation directed towards a retina of the eye, such that at least one region masked from the incident wave is present on the retina;
determining a first back scattering spectrum indicative of light scattered from an optical media of the eye in dependence on a portion of the reflected wave of radiation corresponding to the at least one masked region;
determining a second back scattering spectrum indicative of light scattered from a neural retina of the eye in dependence on retinal structure information representative of neural retinal structure;
determining the scattering spectrum of the eye in dependence on the first back scattering spectrum and the second back scattering spectrum; and
extrapolating at least one of the first back scattering spectrum and the second back scattering spectrum to different wavelengths of incident radiation using a scattering model.
