title: [Microfluctuations in accommodation].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  So called microfluctuations of the power of crystalline lens are uncontested in scientific community. However, there are still open questions about possible artefacts which deserve discussion.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  This contribution is intended to reopen discussion of matters concerning fundamentals about microfluctuations of the crystalline lens.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Thoughts are outlined which render characteristics or even existence of microfluctuations questionable.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There is still a need for a conclusive experiment to determine existence and role of microfluctuations.
