"Optical and Structural Properties of the
Crystalline Lens: Accommodation and Aging"
This thesis addresses the influence of shape and gradient refractive index to the optical properties of
various mammal lenses, in relation to age or accommodation. Optical Coherence Tomography and Laser
Ray Tracing were used to collect experimental data. The parameters of a 4-variable 3D GRIN model were
reconstructed from the collected data using a global search algorithm. In addition microscopic structures
of intact crystalline lenses were imaged using confocal microscopy.
