Anterior Chamber Measurements in Healthy Children: A Cross-Sectional Study Using Optical Coherence Tomography.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To establish anterior chamber measurements in children and investigate the influence of demographic factors on anterior chamber development.

Methods

Handheld optical coherence tomography was used to scan the anterior chamber of participants' eyes, without sedation. ImageJ was used to generate quantitative anterior chamber measurements, including central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber width, trabecular meshwork length (TML), Schwalbe's line-angle opening distance (SL-AOD), and trabecular iris surface area (SL-TISA). The average anterior chamber measurements per age group, with 95% prediction intervals, were estimated using fractional polynomial modeling. Mixed regression models were used to evaluate the influence of age, gender, eye, angle, and refractive e
