Aim: To study the various ocular anatomical and physiological parameters in presbyopia. Materials and methods: We studied the various ocular anatomical and physiological parameters like corneal curvature (keratometry readings: K1 and K2), central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT) and axial length (AL) in 100 presbyopic patients between 35 - 55 years of age. The patients were divided into two age groups: I (35 – 44 years) and II (45-55 yrs). ACD, AL and LT were measured using an Ascan. CCT was measured with ultrasonic pachymetry. Results: The CCT decreased (BE), LT increased and ACD decreased (RE) significantly with increasing age (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in males and females. Nearly 3/4th of the total increase in lens thickness was responsible for the decrease in the anterior chamber depth and the rest, 1/4th , goes posteriorly. Corneal curvature and AL showed no significant change with age. Conclusions: The mean of CCT decreased significantly with advancing age. As age increased, the mean value of lens thickness increased and anterior chamber depth decreased. Nearly 3/ 4th of total increase in LT was anteriorly, decreasing the ACD. Corneal curvature and AL has no relation with age.

Purpose: To evaluate the distribution of the posterior-anterior corneal radius ratio (B/F ratio; posterior corneal radius/anterior corneal radius) in patients without corneal abnormalities, and to investigate which parameters affect this ratio. Methods: Five thousand eyes from 5,000 patients who underwent cataract surgery were recruited to this study. We explored the linear relationship between B/F ratio and 13 variables using Principal Component-Multivariate Linear Regression Analysis. Results: The B/F ratio was negatively correlated with the difference between simulated keratometry (SimK) and true net power (TNP), central corneal thickness, spherical aberration (SA), and posterior corneal astigmatism and positively correlated with posterior corneal radius, corneal posterior surface, axial length (AL) and anterior corneal radius. Several variables (central corneal thickness, difference between SimK and TNP and asphericity coefficient (Q-value) of the posterior corneal surface) had the highest loading on the final score. B/F ratio reflects the refractive state and anatomical structure of the cornea: thus, higher B/F ratios were associated with larger posterior corneal surface curvature radius, longer axial length, thinner central corneal thickness, lower high order aberrations of the cornea and SA, and the numerical difference between simK and TNP gradually reduced. In clinical practice, for patients with lower B/F ratio, special care should be taken in the choice of system used for intraocular lens (IOL) measurements.

Abstract Background To investigate the new cornea biomechanical parameter stress-strain index (SSI) in Chinese healthy people and the factors associated with SSI. Methods A total of 175 eyes from 175 participants were included in this study. Axial length was measured with the Lenstar LS-900. Pentacam measured curvature of the cornea and anterior chamber volume (ACV). Cornea biomechanical properties assessments were performed by corneal visualization Scheimpflug technology (Corvis ST). Student’s t-test, one-way ANOVA, partial least square linear regression (PLSLR) and linear mixed effects (LME) model were used in the statistical analysis. Results The mean (±SD) SSI was 1.14 ± 0.22 (range, 0.66–1.78) in all subjects and affected by age significantly after age of 35 (P < 0.05). In LME models, SSI was significantly associated with age (β = 0.526, P < 0.001), axial length (AL) (β = − 0.541, P < 0.001), intraocular pressure (IOP) (β = 0.326, P < 0.001) and steepest radius of anterior corneal curvature (RsF) (β = 0.229, P < 0.001) but not with ACV, biomechanical corrected intraocular pressure (bIOP), flattest radius of anterior corneal curvature (RfF) or central corneal thickness (CCT) (P > 0.05 for each). Conclusions SSI increased with age after the age of 35. In addition to age, SSI was positively correlated with RsF and IOP, while negatively correlated with AL.
