Examination of the eye as a means to determine the early postmortem period: a review of the literature
Forensic Sci Int.
1994 Feb.
Abstract
Reported are various techniques to determine the early postmortem period by examining the eye. These include corneal opacity, retinal vessel segmentation, pupil reaction, retinal changes and intraocular pressure. All are subjective, requiring experience to implement the techniques.
