To measure the thickness of the aging human lens using corrected Scheimpflug images and determine the effects of age.
Combined Scheimpflug photography with axial optical eye-length measurements
Corrected images for distortion caused by refraction
Measured lens thickness in 90 subjects aged 16 to 65 years
Average increase in lens thickness of 24 μm per year
Measurement consistency with ultrasonographic data assuming constant sound velocity
Posterior lens surface moves backward with age without significant difference from anterior movement
