چکیده
BACKGROUND To evaluate the relationship between age, axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD) and corneal steepness (K) in patients with cataract. METHODS In this retrospective study, medical records of 800 patients (800 eyes) who were diagnosed with cataract and received preoperative ophthalmologic examination were reviewed. Data including age, gender and ocular biometric data including AL, ACD and K were collected and analyzed using univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS Univariate analysis showed increased age has significant correlation with shorter AL (P < 0.001), shallower ACD (P < 0.001) and steeper K (P < 0.001). K value has a negative correlation with AL (P < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, increasing age has a significant association with shorter AL (P < 0.001) and ACD (P < 0.001), although the association between age and K was not significant (P = 0.398). Negative correlation between AL and K remained significant in multivariate analysis (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION In patients with cataract, older age had significant association with shorter AL and ACD. AL and K had negative correlation.

OBJECTIVE To describe ocular biometry relationships in older white adults. METHODS Ocular dimensions were measured with partial coherence laser interferometry in 1968 persons (aged 58-100 years, 59% female) seen at the fourth examination of the Beaver Dam Eye Study. Generalized estimating equations-modeled associations of age, sex, height, and education with ocular dimensions: axial length, c...
متن کاملOcular biometry in preterm infants: implications for estimation of retinal illuminance.
PURPOSE Retinal illuminance varies with stimulus luminance, pupil size, eye size, and transmissivity of the ocular media. There are few published data to inform estimates of retinal illuminance in early infancy, and no concurrent studies of pupil size and ocular length have been described. The goals were to document simultaneously the measured ocular parameters in growing preterm infants and to...

PURPOSE To determine the relationship between the differences in the ocular component values with the degree of anisomyopia. METHODS Refraction, corneal power (CP), and biometry were examined in 50 myopic adults with refractive differences (RD) over 1.50 diopters (D). Ocular components were measured by ultrasound biometry and keratometry. The correlation between the differences in the ocular ...

Background: It has been estimated that 67 million people worldwide are affected with a primary glaucoma and that one-third have primary angle closure glaucoma. We aimed to determine the biometric differences between the eyes of patients with acute attack of primary angle closure and their non-involved fellow eyes. Methods: Twenty eight patients with acute attack of primary angle closure were re...
