Relationship Between Axial Length and Central Corneal Thickness of Emmetropic Eye with the Height and Body Weight of Young Adults

ABSTRACT

Background: The cornea is an important ocular structure involved in the mediation of visual perception. It is the principal refractive surface of the eye and vision can be significantly affected by relatively small changes in its structure and parameters. Measurement of corneal parameters is important in the diagnosis and management of ocular diseases such as keratoconus and glaucoma Methods: This study was conducted in the department of ophthalmology in ACMS medical college Delhi. Results: This study showed, height and AL has a positive correlation with a value of +.119, and with weight AL has a weak positive correlation (+.035). CCT has a positive correlation with age (+0.044) but was found to have nil correlation with sex. Conclusion: This study was conclude that, no significant difference in mean CCT and AL was found between male and female subjects.
