Distribution and Characteristics of Ocular Biometric Parameters among a Chinese Population: A Hospital-Based Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This study aimed to describe the distribution and characteristics of ocular biometric parameters among a large Chinese population.

Methods

This retrospective cross-sectional study included 146,748 subjects whose ocular biometric parameters were measured at the ophthalmology clinic of West China Hospital, Sichuan University, and recorded in the hospital database. Ocular biometric parameters, including axial length, anterior chamber depth, corneal keratometry, and keratometric astigmatism, were recorded. Only monocular data for each subject were analyzed to avoid bias.

Results

Valid data from 85,770 subjects (43,552 females and 42,218 males) aged 3-114 years were included in this study. The mean axial length, mean anterior chamber depth, average corneal ker
