Correlations of anterior and posterior corneal parameters in Chinese myopic patients: a retrospective multicenter study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Whether the correlations between anterior and posterior corneal parameters vary according to different conditions is unknown. We aimed to investigate the anterior-to-posterior correlations of corneal parameters according to different refractive status and anterior segment dimension.

Methods

A total of 8,365 myopic eyes undergoing refractive surgery between 2017 and 2019 from multiple ophthalmic centers were consecutively included in the study. All the eyes underwent routine ocular examinations including corneal Scheimpflug imaging. Pentacam data of the eyes were retrieved from the machine and only results with image quality labelled as 'OK' were included. The anterior-posterior correlations of corneal curvature, astigmatism, eccentricity, and asphericity were asse
