研究目的
To characterize the peripheral defocus of the monkey crystalline lens and its changes with accommodation.
研究成果
The cynomolgus monkey lens exhibits significant accommodation-dependent curvature of field, with increased peripheral defocus in the accommodated state. This indicates the lens's substantial role in peripheral optics, which may influence myopia development and near work implications. Future work should explore multi-meridian measurements and in vivo correlations.
研究不足
The study is limited to ex vivo monkey lenses, which may not fully replicate in vivo conditions. Measurements were performed in a single meridian, potentially missing asymmetries or higher-order aberrations. The use of a homogeneous lens model in simulations may oversimplify the refractive index gradient. Postmortem time could affect lens properties.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used a custom-built combined laser ray tracing (LRT) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) system to measure lens power in accommodated and unaccommodated states, simulating accommodation with a lens stretcher. The methodology involved automated ray tracing and OCT imaging for precise measurements.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
15 lenses from 11 cynomolgus monkey eyes (Macaca fascicularis, age 3.8–12.4 years, postmortem time 33.5 ± 15.3 hours) were used, obtained from the University of Miami's division of veterinary resources under ethical guidelines.
3:8–4 years, postmortem time 5 ± 3 hours) were used, obtained from the University of Miami's division of veterinary resources under ethical guidelines. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Equipment includes a motorized lens stretcher (STR-MLS-B, Bioniko Consulting LLC), LRT-OCT system with components like a CMOS image sensor (DCC1545M-GL, Thorlabs), OCT system (ENVISU R4400, Bioptigen/Leica Microsystems), translation stages (Newport Corp.), rotation stages (Zaber Technologies), and software (LabView, MATLAB). Materials include balanced salt solution (BSS, Alcon Inc.) for hydration.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Lenses were mounted in the stretcher, aligned using OCT, and LRT data was acquired at various delivery angles (-20° to +20°) in unstretched and stretched states. The process involved automated ray delivery, spot image acquisition, and data analysis for power calculation.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data was analyzed using MATLAB to calculate lens power from ray slopes, with statistical analysis (repeated measures ANOVA) to compare states and assess significance.
