A 45° beam splitter attached to a Zeiss IOLMaster 700 (Carl Zeiss Meditec Inc., Jena, Germany) biometer enabled simultaneous imaging of the cornea, anterior chamber, entire central crystalline lens and fovea in the dilated right eyes of subjects before, and during focus on a target 11 cm from the cornea.

The lens radii of curvatures were measured with a pixel stick circle.Results: Images from only 3 of 10 subjects met the predetermined criteria for registration. Mean anterior chamber depth decreased, −67 µm (range: −0.40 to −110 µm), and mean central lens thickness increased, 117 µm (range: 100–130 µm). The lens surfaces steepened, anterior greater than posterior, while the lens, itself, did not move or shift its position as appeared from the lack of movement of the lens nucleus, during 7.8 diopters of accommodation, (range: 6.6–9.7 diopters).Conclusion: Image registration, with stable invariant references for image correspondence, reveals that during accommodation a large increase in lens surface curvatures is associated with only a small increase in central lens thickness and no change in lens position.Keywords: swept-source biometry, accommodation, anterior chamber depth, crystalline lens thickness, image registration, lens curvatureSchachar RAMani MSchachar IHDove Medical Pressarticleswept-source biometryaccommodationanterior chamber depthcrystalline lens thicknessimage registrationlens curvatureOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 11, Pp 1625-1636 (2017)
