The Distribution of Ocular Normative Parameters in a Spanish School Population.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: The prevalence of myopia is increasing globally, including in Spain. The early detection of ocular biometric parameters associated with myopia development is crucial for implementing control strategies. This study aims to describe the normative biometric values in a Spanish school-aged population and compare them with previously established reference data. Methods: A cross-sectional, observational, and analytical study was conducted on 558 students aged 6 to 12 years from the Educare Valdefuentes School in Madrid. Ocular biometric parameters, including axial length (AL), corneal curvature (CR), anterior chamber depth (ACD), crystalline lens thickness (LT), corneal thickness (CCT), and posterior vitreous depth (PVD), were measured using IOLMaster 700.
