“…However, MRI is a relatively time-consuming technique and is of lower resolution compared to optical and ultrasound techniques. MRI has been used previously for ocular imaging to study overall eye shape, extraocular muscle anatomy, crystalline lens shape, refractive index distribution, and ciliary muscle anatomy (Atchison et al, 2008;Atchison & Smith, 2004;Demer et al, 2008;Jones, Atchison, & Pope, 2007;Strenk, Strenk, & Semmlow, 2000;Strenk, Strenk, Semmlow, & DeMarco, 2004). We have previously described the dependence of refractive index distribution of the crystalline lens on accommodation and age using MRI (Jones et al, 2007;Kasthurirangan et al, 2008).…”
