| description | Introduction: Axial length and anterior chamber depth play
an important role in refractive status of the eye in different age
groups.
Material and Methods: The present study has been done on
240 patients (480 eyes) who attended eye OPD of Department
of Ophthalmology at NIMS Medical College & Hospital Jaipur,
Rajasthan, India. The patients attending eye OPD between July
2011 to December 2012 of different ages groups were without
significant history of any ocular disease. The axial length and
anterior chamber depth were measured and compared.
Conclusion: Hypermetropic eyes have shallow anterior
chamber depth and shorter axial length as compared to myopic
and emmtropic eyes. |
