ABSTRACT
The aim of the study was to quantify the anatomicdifferences in central corneal thickness, anteriorocular chamber depth, lens thickness, vitreouschamber depth, and ocular axial length betweennormal and dry-eyes. Central corneal thickness(CCT), ocular anterior chamber depth (ACD), lensthickness (LT), vitreous chamber depth (VCD)and ocular axial length (AL) were measured in 70normal subjects and in 58 subjects with dry-eyes.Central corneal thickness was measured withscanning-slit corneal topography while ocularanterior chamber depth, lens thickness, vitreouschamber depth and ocular axial length were measuredwith applanation ultrasound biometry.Central corneal thickness was 0.558±0.30 mmand 0.532±0.34 mm in normal and dry-eyes,respectively (p<0.001). Mean ocular anteriorchamber depth was 3.17±0.23 mm and 2.93±0.35mm in normal and dry-eyes, respectively(p=0.002). Lens thickness was 4.49±0.42 mm inthe dry-eye patients and 4.71±0.32 mm in thenormal subjects (p=0.022). Vitreous chamberdepth was 16.75±1.75 mm and 15.54±1.34 mm innormal and dry-eyes, respectively (p=0.001).Ocular axial length was 24.58±1.73 in normalsubjects and 23.07±1.48 in dry-eye subjects(p<0.001). We conclude that quantitative ocularanatomy values are lower in dry-eye subjects (AU)
