OCT study of accommodation

OCT study of accommodation

What happens to central anterior chamber depth (ACD) in patients with high myopia during accommodation? Russian researchers looked at this question, obtaining ACD measurements in the non-accommodative state and during accommodation using the Visante AS-OCT device. Accommodative changes in the ACD were significantly less pronounced in eyes with high myopia than in emmetropic eyes. However, the researchers caution that the anterior chamber might become critically shallow during accommodation in some myopic eyes, and this should be taken into account when planning phakic intraocular lens implantation to correct high myopia.
