Accommodative Exercises to Lower Intraocular Pressure

Figure 3

Ciliary muscle thickness in age groups of 20 y.o., 40 y.o., and 60 y.o. while nonaccommodating. The ciliary muscle of the 60 y.o. group was thicker within 75 μm of the scleral spur compared to the 20 y.o. and 40 y.o. groups. The ciliary muscle of the 20 y.o. group was thinner up to 50 μm from the scleral spur and thicker at distances of 125–300 μm from the scleral spur compared to the 40 y.o and 60 y.o. groups ( < 0.00001), using linear mixed-effects models ( < 0.00001).
