1923 B. Graves in Trans. Ophthalmol. Soc. 43 388 For purposes of brief reference I feel that some concise non-committal term is wanted to express that property of, e.g., the cornea, in virtue of which a beam of light traversing the tissue becomes visible. I suggest the term ‘relucency’.

1966 Science 1 July 83/3 The cortical area of the lens was almost optically clear instead of having its normal relucency.
