[quote="StoneGloves"]What they're seeing is lens flare. Part of the eye is a lens, after all. Shame really, as I thought they were on to something. Still no measurement of the aperture, anything but ...
The 'lens flare' you're talking about, whilst extremely common with cameras whose lenses are comprised of multiple glass elements, does not occur with the Mk I human eyeball, being a single, perfect, organic lens!
The capstone aperture is extremely difficult to 'measure'. It has a complex 3 dimensional, assymetric profile. I have produced engineering drawings in the past, using isometric and orthographic projection views, but these require specialist measuring instruments such as internal micrometers or at least a range of external and internal calipers. It depends what you want to do with the information really. If necessary one could hire the services of a measurement specialist for around £100/hour.
