title: Crystalline lens accommodation and anterior chamber depth.
abstract: Using paraxial equations, the change in dioptric power of the crystalline lens required to image objects at given distances from the eye, on the retina, is calculated. This shows that the depth of the anterior chamber affects crystalline lens accommodation more than other variables. The relationship between anterior chamber depth and presbyopia, and a possible geographical aspect, are discussed.
