Proposed adjustment to the lens templates of Wyszecki & Stiles (1967) and van Norren & Vos (1974). The lens densities were optimized to transform cone fundamentals based on the CIE 1964 10-deg color matching functions to cone photopigment curves. Without this small correction, the photopigment curves have a discontinuity in the violet. The discontinuity is dependent on the CMFs--not on the choice of cone fundamentals (see Stockman, MacLeod & Johnson, 1993). It is caused in part by adjustments to the CMFs made by the CIE (see Stockman and Sharpe, 2000).
The data from 390-460 nm are from Stockman, MacLeod & Johnson, 1993 (see Table 7)
The data from 465-730 nm are from Wyszecki & Stiles, 1982 (see Table 1(2.4.6)).
These values are for a small pupil. For an open pupil, divide by 1.16.
