A population comparison of isolated human crystalline lens three-dimensional shape, published in Experimental Eye Research

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if any differences exist between Indian and European populations in the geometry of human lenses. Two custom-developed spectral domain optical coherence tomography systems were used to acquire the crystalline lens geometry: one in India (69 lenses from 59 donors) and the other in Spain (24 lenses from 19 donors). This study, result from collaborative work between LV Prasad Eye Institute in Hyderabad, Bascom Palmer Eye Institute (University of Miami Miller School of Medicine) and VioBio Lab (CSIC), is the first study to compare geometric lens parameters between different populations in vitro.
