White-to-white corneal diameter, pupil diameter, central corneal thickness and thinnest corneal thickness values of emmetropic subjects

Abstract

This study shows that there are no differences in white-to-white corneal diameter, central corneal thickness, and thinnest corneal thickness between emmetropic females and males. However, pupil diameters are greater in emmetropic females.

Corneal diameter and associated parameters in Chinese children: the Shandong Children Eye Study

“…In the Tehran Eye Study on 410 people with a mean age of 40.7 ± 16.8 years, the mean corneal diameter was 11.68 mm (95% CI: 11.63–11.73) . In 379 healthy emmetropic individuals aged 18 to 53 years and examined by Sanchis‐Gimeno et al ., corneal diameter ranged from 11.5 to 12.3 mm . Gharaee et al .…”

“…8 In 379 healthy emmetropic individuals aged 18 to 53 years and examined by Sanchis-Gimeno et al, corneal diameter ranged from 11.5 to 12.3 mm. 9 Gharaee et al reported on a mean corneal diameter of 11.65 ± 0.36 mm (median: 11.60 mm; range: 10.50-13.60 mm) in 1001 healthy participants aged 18 to 45 years. 12 Zha et al examined 462 Chinese myopic individuals and 129 emmetropic eyes and reported on a mean corneal diameter of 11.49 ± 0.36 mm.…”

“…Size and shape of the cornea are therefore of utmost importance for the ocular optical system and quality of vision . Although numerous studies have addressed its central thickness and curvature radius, only relatively few investigations were focused on the corneal diameter . In particular, studies on the corneal diameter in children and associations of the corneal diameter with other ocular and general parameters have been scarce so far.…”

“…1,2 Although numerous studies have addressed its central thickness and curvature radius, only relatively few investigations were focused on the corneal diameter. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] In particular, studies on the corneal diameter in children and associations of the corneal diameter with other ocular and general parameters have been scarce so far. This information may be of importance for questions addressing the mechanism of emmetropization and myopization, in particular in view of the marked increase in the prevalence of myopia, including high myopia in the young generation in East Asia.…”

Normal corneal thickness measurements in pigmented rabbits using spectral‐domain anterior segment optical coherence tomography

“…There was positive correlation between the thinnest point and area a in both the right eyes ( r = 0.892, P < 0.001) and the left eyes ( r = 0.832, P < 0.001), which was similar with the findings in the Sanchis‐Gimeno et al. 26 study in which human cornea research was performed using scanning‐slit corneal topography.…”
