Crystalline Lens Shape During Accommodation in Children
PURPOSE: To determine how accommodation affects lens shape in myopic and non-myopic children. METHODS: ). RESULTS: . There were no interactions between accommodation demand and refractive error for any lens parameters (all p ≥ 0.13). CONCLUSION: Myopic children have flatter lens surfaces than non-myopic children. Lens surface shape changes with accommodation are similar between myopic and non-myopic children.
