Abstract
Purpose: We evaluated changes in ocular dimensions according to age in patients with emmetropia. Methods: We examined the refraction, corneal curvature, and biometry in 150 subjects from 5 to 75 years old with spherical equivalent refractions under ±0.75 diopter (D). Ocular dimensions were measured by A-scan ultrasonography and keratometry. We analysed the distribution and change of ocular dimensions according to age (1: 0~19-year-old group, 2: 20~39-year-old group, 3: 40~59-year-old group, 4: 60~79- year-old group). Results: The values for corneal radius (CR), vitreous chamber depth (VCD) and axial length (AL) were highest in group 2. Lens thickness (LT) increased with increasing age, whereas anterior chamber depth (ACD) decreased with increasing age (P
