Corneal stromal mapping characteristics in normal corneas using anterior segment SD-OCT.

ABSTRACT: This study investigated how normal corneal stromal profiles change with age, sex, and corrected intraocular pressure (IOP). A retrospective observational analytical study was conducted in Jordan, employing anterior segment spectral-domain optical coherence tomography AS-OCT, a measured corneal stromal thickness (CST) in 134 eyes across the central 6-mm corneal diameter. People between the ages of 18 and 79 were included, and the mean CST values were linked to age groups, IOP, and cis-gender populations, with the exclusion of certain eye conditions. The central stroma was thinnest at 484.6 (±32.6) μm, contrasting with the outer peripheral superior zone's maximum thickness at 549.3 (±40.6) μm. A positive correlation between CST and the 30-49 age group was noted. In conclusion, this study hig
