Purpose:
|
To determine the normative values of anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber volume (ACV) and anterior chamber angle (ACA), contralateral comparison between right and left eyes and correlation between these parameters in the normal young population.
|
Methods:
|
In an observational cross-sectional study, patients aged 18-35 years were included. Exclusion criteria were history of any intraocular or corneal disease, anomaly or surgery; hyperopic spherical refraction more than +3, and myopic spherical refraction less than -5.00 diopters (D) or cylindrical refraction more than 2.00 D. All measurements were done by the same operator using Pentacam (Pentacam HR, Oculus, Germany). Independent samples t test, dependent samples t test, ANOVA and Pearson correlation test were used for statistical analysis.
|
Results:
|
This study evaluated 408 eyes of 204 cases (126 females) with a mean age of 28.43 ± 6.36 years. The average ACD was 3.259±0.282 mm, ACV was 207.204±34.553 mm3 and ACA was 42.147±5.476º. The mean anterior chamber parameters in the right and left eyes were not significantly different. All these parameters were significantly correlated with each other.
|
Conclusion:
|
A significant positive correlation was found between anterior chamber parameters. No significant difference was found in parameters between the right and left eyes. This study provided information about a wide range of parameters in the anterior segment of healthy young Iranian eyes. These results could be helpful in assessment of patients with corneal diseases, glaucoma and screening for refractive surgeries.
