Modeling the power of the aging human eye

Abstract

A hypothesis is presented that may explain why the aging eye does not become myopic with age. The power of the eye lens is predicted with a modeling approach to determine how the form of the refractive-index gradient within the lens can change to maintain a constant power in spite of age-related curvature increase. Methods used include published age-dependent data on the optical parameters of the eye, a mathematical model of the lens based on elliptical isoindicial contours, and a refractive-index profile that can be expressed as a power series in the distance from the lens center. The kinds of change in profile required to prevent the eye from becoming myopic as its lens grows are shown.
