Abstract

gradient refractive index

accommodation

spherical aberration

GRIN

crystalline lens

The gradient refractive index (GRIN) of the crystalline lens was estimated in vitro as a function of accommodation to study its influence in the optics of the lens. We show that GRIN plays an important role in the negative spherical aberration of the lens and emphasize its changes with accommodation.
