The aim of the study was to evaluate changes in size of Schlemm's canal (SC) and trabecular meshwork(TM) in response to accommodation stimuli and cycloplegia states in myopia children. In total, 34 children were enroled in this study. A -6.0 D accommodation stimulus was achieved by looking at an optotype through a mirror. Cycloplegia state was induced with 1% tropicamide. Two states were confirmed by measuring the central lens thickness (CLT), anterior chamber depth and pupil diameter. The size of SC and TM was measured using swept-source optical coherence tomography. The association between changes in SC size and CLT was analysed. Compared with that in the relaxation state, SC size increased significantly under -6.0 D accommodation stimuli. SC area (SCA) increased from 6371 ± 2517 μm2 to 7824 ± 2727 μm2, SC length (SCL) from 249 ± 10 μm to 295 ± 12 μm and SC width (SCW) from 27 ± 9 μm to 31 ± 8 μm. Under the cycloplegia state, SCA decreased to 5009 ± 2028 μm2; SCL to 212 ± 14 μm, and SCW to 22 ± 5 μm. Changes in SCA (r = 0.35, P = 0.0007), SCL (r = 0.251, P = 0.0172) and SCW (r = 0.253, P = 0.016) were significantly correlated with changes in CLT. TM size was not significantly altered compared to that in the relaxation state. TM length (TML) increased from 562 ± 45 μm to 587 ± 47 μm after exposure to -6.0 D accommodation stimulus. SC size enlarged in response to -6.0 D accommodation stimuli and shrunk under cycloplegia. TM length increased under the accommodation stimulus state.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009216 Myopia A refractive error in which rays of light entering the EYE parallel to the optic axis are brought to a focus in front of the RETINA when accommodation (ACCOMMODATION, OCULAR) is relaxed. This results from an overly curved CORNEA or from the eyeball being too long from front to back. It is also called nearsightedness. Nearsightedness,Myopias,Nearsightednesses
D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
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. (Cline et al., Dictionary of Visual Science, 4th ed) Accommodation, Lens,Ocular Accommodation,Ocular Distance Accommodation,Accommodation, Ocular Distance,Distance Accommodation, Ocular,Lens Accommodation,Ocular Distance Accommodations
D012590 Sclera The white, opaque, fibrous, outer tunic of the eyeball, covering it entirely excepting the segment covered anteriorly by the cornea. It is essentially avascular but contains apertures for vessels, lymphatics, and nerves. It receives the tendons of insertion of the extraocular muscles and at the corneoscleral junction contains the CANAL OF SCHLEMM. (From Cline et al., Dictionary of Visual Science, 4th ed) Scleral Spur,Scleral Spurs,Scleras
D014129 Trabecular Meshwork A porelike structure surrounding the entire circumference of the anterior chamber through which aqueous humor circulates to the SCHLEMM'S CANAL. Meshwork, Trabecular,Meshworks, Trabecular,Trabecular Meshworks
D041623 Tomography, Optical Coherence An imaging method using LASERS that is used for mapping subsurface structure. When a reflective site in the sample is at the same optical path length (coherence) as the reference mirror, the detector observes interference fringes. OCT Tomography,Optical Coherence Tomography,Coherence Tomography, Optical,Tomography, OCT
