Data from lenses used in Table 1 are compiled for the individual values of lens volume changes for swelling in the stretched conformation. Rabbit lens volume changes for swelling in the relaxed conformation are values from Table 4 of Kong et al., 2009.

^*Volume change marginally higher in the relaxed conformation than in the stretched conformation with P= 0.065, as unpaired, two-tailed data.

^**Percentage change in volume significantly higher in the relaxed conformation than in the stretched conformation with P<0.05, as unpaired, two-tailed data.
