Axial length is the primary determinant of refractive error, showing the strongest correlation with subjective spherical equivalent. Ocular biometric parameters, excluding corneal characteristics, vary with refractive error, highlighting axial length's crucial role.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Biometry
  • Refractive error analysis

Background:

  • Accurate ocular biometry is essential for understanding refractive error.
  • Correlating subjective refraction with objective biometric measurements aids in clinical assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between subjective refraction and ocular biometric parameters measured by Orbscan and echography.
  • To compare biometric data with the subjective spherical equivalent in normal eyes.

Main Methods:

  • Subjective refraction and biometry (Orbscan, echography) were performed on 190 normal eyes from 95 patients.
  • Biometric parameters including axial length, anterior chamber depth, and corneal measurements were analyzed.
  • Data were compared across refractive groups and correlated with subjective spherical equivalent.

Main Results:

  • Axial length, anterior chamber depth, and iridocorneal angle significantly differed between refractive groups and correlated with subjective spherical equivalent.
  • Subjective spherical equivalent showed the strongest correlation with axial length (r=0.82).
  • Corneal biometric parameters generally did not correlate with refractive error, except for central pachymetry in high myopes.

Conclusions:

  • Ocular biometric characteristics, particularly axial length, are strongly associated with refractive error.
  • Axial length is a key factor in ocular biometry and influences refraction.
  • Corneal characteristics showed limited correlation with refractive error compared to axial length.
