A ray tracing model for ultrasonic propagation through the human eye, including the lens, was developed on the assumptions of lossless media and nonreflecting interfaces. Measurement of the distribution of an ultrasonic beam before and after traversing human eyes in vitro, and of the velocity of ultrasound in the various media, has permitted some comparison of the predictions of the model with experiment. The agreement is good although there are significant limitations involved these are discussed. For imaging systems the effect of the eye arises largely from the lens which acts as a defocussing lens of focal length .apprx. 13.5 cm. Although the experiments were performed at .apprx. 4 MHz, the validity of the ray tracing model is largely frequency independent and will be appropriate at the higher frequencies commonly used in ophthalmology.
