High Resolution MRI Study of Circumlental Space in the Aging Eye

摘要

High resolution MR imaging of the eye was employed to examine the affect of aging on the circumlental space. As previously presented, we note that the observed decrease in the circumlental space with age is primarily a result of the inward movement of the ciliary muscle ring that occurs with advancing age. For the unaccommodated eye, the nasal circumlental space is greater than the temporal circumlental space in the pre-presbyope and remains so throughout life. We are currently evaluating the circumlental space in the accommodated eye.
