Abstract
PURPOSE Accommodation mainly affects the lens, a structure of the eyeball that degrades with age. The aim of this work was to study the morphological changes of different ocular structures during accommodation, both in the anterior pole and the posterior pole, which may also be involved in the accommodation process. METHODS The study will be carried out by stimulating accommodation through lenses of -1.00, -3.00 and -5.00 D starting from the spherical equivalent (M) of each participant in different age groups, from 18 to 66 years. To obtain the M value, aberrometry was achieved, and retinal optical coherence tomography and anterior pole tomography were performed to evaluate the possible structural modifications (central and peripheral), while accommodation was progressively stimulated. RESULTS It showed that as the accommodative demand increased, morphological changes were produced in retinal thickness, both in the central and peripheral retina, in all age groups. A thinning of the retina was observed in the central 3 mm, while significant progressive thickening was observed closer to the periphery (up to 6 mm from the fovea) as the required accommodative power increased. A decrease in the anterior chamber depth (ACD) and anterior chamber volume (ACV) was observed with increasing lens power. CONCLUSION Structural changes were observed in the central and peripheral retina, as well as in the ACD and ACV, while progressively greater accommodation was stimulated, showing that these structures were modified in the accommodation process even in advanced presbyopes.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the effects of accommodation on the geometrical parameters of human lens. Methods Eight databases from inception to November 2023 were used for the literature search: CNKI, CBM, VIP, Wan-Fang, PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library. The Methodological Index for Non-randomized Studies was used to assess the risk of bias. The PRISMA were followed and the following outcomes were taken into consideration: lens diameter (LD), lens thickness (LT), anterior curvature radius (ACR), posterior curvature radius (PCR), lens center position (LCP), and total cross-sectional area (TCSA). This systematic review was registered on an international platform for registered systematic reviews and meta-analysis (INPLASY202260085). Results A total of 19 studies were included. LT increased by 0.04 mm/D (18 studies; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.03-0.06; I2 = 96.6%; P < 0.001). At the same time, LD, ACR, and PCR decreased by 0.06 mm/D (6 studies; 95%CI, -0.07-0.05; I2 = 50.1%; P < 0.001), 0.53 mm/D (8 studies; 95%CI, -0.64-0.41; I2 = 96.5%; P < 0.001), and 0.14 mm/D (9 studies; 95%CI, -0.19-0.09; I2 = 94.7%; P < 0.001) during accommodation, respectively. Moreover, LCP shifted forward by 0.01 mm/D (3 studies; 95%CI, -0.02-0.00; I2 = 0.0%; P < 0.001), and TCSA by 0.58 mm2/D (2 studies; 95%CI, 0.41-1.57; I2 = 97.0%; P = 0.457) during accommodation. Conclusions Changes in LT, LD, ACR, PCR and LCP supported Helmholtz's theory. Different apparatuses or measurement methods influenced the measurement of lens geometrical parameters.

Abstract
It is important to be able to measure the range of clear focus in clinical practice to advise on presbyopia correction techniques and to optimise the correction power. Both subjective and objective techniques are necessary: subjective techniques (such as patient reported outcome questionnaires and defocus curves) assess the impact of presbyopia on a patient and how the combination of residual objective accommodation and their natural DoF work for them; objective techniques (such as autorefraction, corneal topography and lens imaging) allow the clinician to understand how well a technique is working optically and whether it is the right choice or how adjustments can be made to optimise performance. Techniques to assess visual performance and adverse effects must be carefully conducted to gain a reliable end-point, considering the target size, contrast and illumination. Objective techniques are generally more reliable, can help to explain unexpected subjective results and imaging can be a powerful communication tool with patients. A clear diagnosis, excluding factors such as binocular vision issues or digital eye strain that can also cause similar symptoms, is critical for the patient to understand and adapt to presbyopia. Some corrective options are more permanent, such as implanted inlays / intraocular lenses or laser refractive surgery, so the optics can be trialled with contact lenses in advance (including differences between the eyes) to better communicate with the patient how the optics will work for them so they can make an informed choice.

Abstract
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive method that provides the opportunity to examine tissues by taking cross-sectional images. OCT is increasingly being used to evaluate anterior segment (AS) pathologies. Swept-source (SS) OCT allows greater penetration and achieves better visualization of the internal configuration of AS tissues due to the longer wavelength employed and high scan speeds. We reviewed the utilization of AS SS-OCT in various conditions including glaucoma, ocular surface pathologies, iris tumors, refractive surgery, cataract surgery, and scleral diseases. A systematic literature search was carried out on PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases between January 1, 2008, and September 1, 2022 using the following keywords: AS SS-OCT; dry eye and SS-OCT; ocular surface and SS-OCT; cornea and SS-OCT; dystrophy and SS-OCT; glaucoma and SS-OCT; ocular surface tumors and SS-OCT; conjunctival tumors and SS-OCT; refractive surgery and SS-OCT; cataract and SS-OCT; biometry and SS-OCT; sclera and SS-OCT; iris and SS-OCT; ciliary body and SS-OCT; artificial intelligence and SS-OCT. A total of 221 studies were included in this review. Review of the existing literature shows that SS-OCT offers several advantages in the diagnosis of AS diseases. Exclusive features of SS-OCT including rapid scanning, deeper tissue penetration, and better image quality help improve our understanding of various AS pathologies.

Abstract
Background The ciliary muscle plays a role in changing the shape of the crystalline lens to maintain the clear retinal image during near work. Studying the dynamic changes of the ciliary muscle during accommodation is necessary for understanding the mechanism of presbyopia. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been frequently used to image the ciliary muscle and its changes during accommodation in vivo. However, the segmentation process is cumbersome and time-consuming due to the large image data sets and the impact of low imaging quality. Objectives This study aimed to establish a fully automatic method for segmenting and quantifying the ciliary muscle on the basis of optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. Design A perspective cross-sectional study. Methods In this study, 3500 signed images were used to develop a deep learning system. A novel deep learning algorithm was created from the widely used U-net and a full-resolution residual network to realize automatic segmentation and quantification of the ciliary muscle. Finally, the algorithm-predicted results and manual annotation were compared. Results For segmentation performed by the system, the total mean pixel value difference (PVD) was 1.12, and the Dice coefficient, intersection over union (IoU), and sensitivity values were 93.8%, 88.7%, and 93.9%, respectively. The performance of the system was comparable with that of experienced specialists. The system could also successfully segment ciliary muscle images and quantify ciliary muscle thickness changes during accommodation. Conclusion We developed an automatic segmentation framework for the ciliary muscle that can be used to analyze the morphological parameters of the ciliary muscle and its dynamic changes during accommodation.

Abstract
Presbyopia occurs when the physiologically normal age-related reduction in the eyes focusing range reaches a point, when optimally corrected for distance vision, that the clarity of vision at near is insufficient to satisfy an individual’s requirements. Hence, it is more about the impact it has on an individual’s visual ability to function in their environment to maintain their lifestyle than a measured loss of focusing ability. Presbyopia has a significant impact on an individual’s quality of life and emotional state. While a range of amelioration strategies exist, they are often difficult to access in the developing world and prescribing is generally not optimal even in developed countries. This review identified the need for a standardised definition of presbyopia to be adopted. An appropriate battery of tests should be applied in evaluating presbyopic management options and the results of clinical trials should be published (even if unsuccessful) to accelerate the provision of better outcomes for presbyopes.

Abstract
Purpose To uncover the mechanism of subconjunctival outflow in humans. Design Cross-sectional study. Participants Fifteen patients receiving subconjunctival anesthesia before intravitreal injection for routine clinical care. Methods Anterior segment (AS) OCT was performed in patients with various instances of conjunctival edema or subconjunctival fluid. Other patients received a subconjunctival mixture of 0.005% indocyanine green and 2% lidocaine. After subconjunctival injection of the tracer and anesthetic mixture, blebs and associated outflow pathways were imaged angiographically and the time for appearance was recorded. The pattern and structure of outflow pathways were studied using AS OCT. Angiographic and AS OCT results were compared with trabecular and conventional outflow imaging, which demonstrates veins. Main Outcome Measures Ocular surface lymphangiography and AS OCT images. Results Anterior segment OCT of the conjunctiva in a normal eye demonstrated thin nonedematous conjunctiva with absent intraconjunctival lumens or subconjunctival fluid. Patients with a history of trabeculectomy, subconjunctival drug injection, or chemosis demonstrated thickened conjunctiva and intraconjunctival luminal pathways that contained valve-like structures. Tracer-based studies in patients demonstrated blebs with irregular subconjunctival bleb-related outflow patterns that arose in a time-dependent fashion. These angiographic pathways were luminal on OCT, sausage shaped, and contained intraluminal valve-like structures. This was in contrast to trabecular and conventional outflow imaging, where pathways were classically Y-shaped, of even caliber, and lacked valve-like structures. Conclusions Outflow pathways were seen in patients with conjunctival edema and after subconjunctival tracer injection. These pathways were lymphatic based on pattern and structural study. Better understanding of bleb-related lymphatic outflow may lead to improved bleb-requiring glaucoma surgeries and subconjunctival drug delivery.
