Age-related changes in Scheimpflug corneal densitometry and their correlations with corneal topographic measurements in a healthy Chinese population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Objective measurement of corneal densitometry (CD) values can be used to assess corneal transparency and health status, to investigate corneal diseases, and to review anterior segment surgeries. However, literature regarding the association between CD and corneal parameters in healthy adolescent and older individuals is limited. This study investigated age-related changes in Scheimpflug CD values and their correlations with age, sex, and corneal topographic parameters.

Methods

This retrospective cross-sectional observational study included 347 eyes from 181 consecutive healthy Chinese participants aged between 5 and 90 years. They were divided into 9 age groups: 5-9, 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, and 80-90 years. CD and corneal topographic measu
