Abstract
Crystalline lens thickness was measured with a Haag-Streit slitlamp biomicroscope no. 900 using a depth measuring attachment. Results indicate that relative lens thickness increases as a square function of age. Lens thickness was also measured during changes in the stimulus to accommodation. As expected, relative lens thickness increased with accommodation.
