relation between central corneal thickness and axial length in a sample of Erbil population

ABSTRACT

Background and objective: A thin central corneal thickness has been reported to be a risk factor for developing primary open-angle glaucoma. This has led to a hypothesis that thinning of the cornea may be an indication of generalized weakness of the ocular integument. This study was conducted to explore the relationship between central corneal thickness and axial length in a sample of Erbil population
