| Abstract | We propose using ultrasound to monitor the elastic property of the intraocular lens as manipulated by a femtosecond pulsed laser. To demonstrate this method, a lens and its zonules are extracted from a postmortem human eye globe. Free ends of the zonules are attached to an iris-like mechanical device that simulates accommodation muscles. The device and its attached lens are placed in a saline bath and scanned with an ultrasound microscope that uses a 50 MHz center frequency transducer with a 3 mm focus and f/# of 1.88. Thickness cross section images are produced for a lens in the relaxed state and at a radial deformation. Speckle within the lens is faint, but the lens capsule has a bright specular reflection. We can discern the composite elastic property of a lens by examining change in curvature of the anterior surface of the capsule for a given deformation. After measuring change in curvature, a loose grid of voids is created in the lens by a femtosecond pulsed laser. Change in curvature is then measured again. The lasered lens has greater change in curvature indicating greater tissue compliance. Results are consistent with what is expected considering a simple model of the lens system where capsule and media are parallel springs in series with zonules. This study indicates that ultrasound can monitor intraocular lens stiffness as manipulated by femtosecond laser microsurgery. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
