A horizontal scanning image of the central anterior part of the lens and the pupillary margin of the iris in a 29 year old male using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (A1). A2 shows a magnification of the selected central 2-mm length. A3 shows the schematic diagram of the anterior lens capsule and the subcapsular epithelium (corresponding to the two highly reflective layers between the red arrows), which we defined as the anterior lens capsular complex (ALCC). Using the pupil center as a reference position, the central ALCC, nasal 1-mm ALCC, temporal 1-mm ALCC were measured
