Method and apparatus to monitor cholesterol levels with photon correlation spectroscopy

摘要

A method to determine the cholesterol level in a patient in a non-invasive manner by delivering a beam of light to a patient's eye. The intensity of light scattered from the aqueous of the eye and the mobility of the protein scatterers in the eye are measured and compared to a control. An apparatus to detect the cholesterol level in a patient in a non-invasive manner which delivers a beam of light to a patient's eye, collects the scattered light from the patient's eye and correlates the scattered light to a cholesterol level measurement.
