Changes in the thickness of the crystalline lens components before and after cycloplegia in children with different refractive errors.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate changes in the thickness of the crystalline lens components in children with different refractive errors before and after cycloplegia.

Methods and analysis

This prospective study recruited 132 right eyes from 132 children (age 5-15 years) with different spherical equivalent (SE) ranging from -6.00 diopters (D) to +6.75 D. We categorized these eyes into non-myopia (N = 30), low-myopia (N = 77), and moderate-myopia (N = 25) groups. The thickness parameters of the crystalline lens components, including lens thickness (LT), lens nucleus thickness (LNT), anterior cortex thickness (ACT), and posterior cortex thickness (PCT), were assessed using optical coherence tomography before and after 0.5 % tropicamide-induced cycloplegia.

Results

After cycloplegi
