摘要:
To evaluate normal reference ranges for corneal morphological parameters and investigate age-related changes in these parameters in Asian subjects with healthy eyes in order to provide reference data for preoperative evaluation of corneal refractive surgery and the early differential diagnosis of subclinical and asymptomatic keratoconus.This cross-sectional, multicenter, observational study was conducted in five provinces of China, from January 2014 through October 2019. It is a retrospective analysis. Examiner-blinded clinical measurements were performed after stratification of the subjects into the following age groups: < 18, 18-30, 31-40, 41-50. We evaluated 30,618 healthy eyes of Chinese subjects who exhibited a normal corneal morphology, had no history of eye surgery or trauma, stopped wearing soft contact lenses for at least 2 weeks (rigid contact lenses for at least 4 weeks), and underwent topographic studies for both eyes on the same day.While the anterior and posterior corneal curvatures (K1 and K2) increased with age, corneal astigmatism of the anterior and posterior surfaces (ΔK) and central, minimum, and overall corneal thicknesses decreased with age. Age-related decrease of the overall corneal thickness was more obvious toward the periphery. The anterior and posterior corneal surface heights exhibited a decrease and an increase, respectively. Both index of height asymmetry (IHA) and index of vertical asymmetry (IVA) exhibited an increase with age.The cornea exhibits overall thinning with age and gradually changes from a flat ellipse to an elongated ellipse in Asian individuals with healthy eyes. However, the anterior and posterior surfaces become smoother with age. Owing to the very large number of cases, these small differences are statistically significant. The results obtained are consistent with the hypothesis that a normal cornea seems to withstand quite well the effect of IOP, external pressures, and the natural cross-linking.© 2021. The Author(s).
