Abstract
To evaluate the relation between corneal horizontal diameter (white-to-white, CHD) and axial length (AL), corneal radius of curvature (CR), anterior chamber depth (ACD), and body height, we measured CHD, AL, CR, and ACD using IOLMaster in 333 eyes of 333 Japanese volunteers and preoperative adults aged 21-89 years. There were 161 male subjects and 172 female subjects. The CHD in Japanese adults was 12.05±0.44mm. The CHD was significantly greater in males (12.17±0.45mm) than in females (11.95±0.41mm) and significantly greater in subjects under 50 years of age than in subjects over 50 years of age. The CHD was strongly associated with CR and ACD.
