Aim: To study the role of ocular biometric factors like, central corneal thickness, corneal curvature, anterior chamber depth and axial length and to evaluate its association with intraocular pressure.
Materials and method: The study was done at a tertiary care hospital in North India. A detailed history from all the patients was elicited and complete ocular examination like visual acuity, slit lamp examination, tonometry, fundus examination, visual field evaluation, keratometry, gonioscopy, central corneal thickness, A-scan for axial length was performed.
Observation and results: A total of 800 subjects falling in sampling frame were enrolled in the study. Central corneal thickness was <540 μm in 85%, 540-600 μm in 14.3% and >600 μm in 0.7% cases. Axial length ranged from 20.1 to 33.9 with a mean of 23.02.. View More»
