Purpose: This study was to investigate the analysis of the central corneal thickness and anterior chamber depth of eyes in Korean Young Population using the Pentacam topography.
Methods: The subjects consisted of 126 eyes from normal cornea of Korean aged 7-12(8.857±1.501) years during 2009. The thinnest location, pachy apex, and pupil central region of the cornea thickness was measured using the Pentacam pachymetry. The anterior chamber depth of normal corneas was measured with Pentacam.
Results: The thinnest location of corneal thickness was 547.413±37.893um. The pachy apex of cornea thickness was 552.103±36.016um. Also, the pupil center of corneal thickness was measured 552.143±36.418um. On the other hand, the mean thickness in the central cornea was a statically significant relationship(t-test, p=0.0002) between pachy apex and thinnest zone. Also the mean thickness of the central cornea was a statically significant correlation(pearson p=0.0001) among the pupil center, pachy apex and thinnest zone. The anterior chamber depth was 3.137±0.308mm. The mean depth in the anterior chamber of cornea was a statically relationship(t-test, p>0.05) between OD and OS.
Conclusions: The results of this clinical study suggested that the analysis of the central corneal thickness and anterior chamber depth using Pentacam in Korean young population can provide the useful morphological information in diagnosis of cornea for the contact lens fitting and corneal refraction surgery.
