Optical coherence tomography quantifies gradient refractive index and mechanical stiffness gradient across the human lens
Optical coherence tomography is suitable to quantify the internal stiffness and refractive index distribution of the crystalline lens in vivo and thus might contribute to reveal its inner working mechanism. Our methodology provides new routes for ophthalmic pre-surgical examinations and basic research.
