Crystalline lens accommodation and anterior chamber depth. 1989

Using paraxial equations, the change in dioptric power of the crystalline lens required to image objects at given distances from the eye, on the retina, is calculated. This shows that the depth of the anterior chamber affects crystalline lens accommodation more than other variables. The relationship between anterior chamber depth and presbyopia, and a possible geographical aspect, are discussed.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007908	Lens, Crystalline	A transparent, biconvex structure of the EYE, enclosed in a capsule and situated behind the IRIS and in front of the vitreous humor (VITREOUS BODY). It is slightly overlapped at its margin by the ciliary processes. Adaptation by the CILIARY BODY is crucial for OCULAR ACCOMMODATION.	Eye Lens,Lens, Eye,Crystalline Lens

D000065	Accommodation, Ocular	The dioptric adjustment of the EYE (to attain maximal sharpness of retinal imagery for an object of regard) referring to the ability, to the mechanism, or to the process. Ocular accommodation is the effecting of refractive changes by changes in the shape of the CRYSTALLINE LENS. Loosely, it refers to ocular adjustments for VISION, OCULAR at various distances.

D000867	Anterior Chamber	The space in the eye, filled with aqueous humor, bounded anteriorly by the cornea and a small portion of the sclera and posteriorly by a small portion of the ciliary body, the iris, and that part of the crystalline lens which presents through the pupil.
