Prevalence and associations of anisometropia with spherical ametropia, cylindrical power, age, and sex, based on 134,603 refractive surgery candidates.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To examine the prevalence and associations of anisometropia with spherical ametropia, cylindrical power, age, and sex.

Methods

Anisometropia was analyzed for subjective refraction. In total, 134,603 refractive surgery candidates were included in the period from 2010 to 2020 at the CARE Vision Refractive Centers in Germany. Our study was approved by the local ethics committee at the University in Duesseldorf (approval date: February 9, 2021) and conducted according to the tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki and Good Clinical Practices Guidelines. The treatment contract included explicit patient consent to use medical data for scientific purposes. Correlations between anisometropia and explanatory variables were analyzed using the chi-squared test (χ2 test), nonparam
