Purpose: To analyze biometry data and corneal astigmatism in cataract candidates from Yazd.
Methods: The corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth and keratometry measurements of anteroposterior width were measured using the IOL Master system. Ocular biometric data were collected and analyzed in the year 2015.
Results: The study comprised of 2000 patients' cataract candidates with a mean age of 66.79 ± 10.72 years (range 28 to 100 years). No significant differences were found between these variables for mean ± SDs of age and gender (p<0.05). The correlation coefficients analysis between four evaluated variables and age showed there is a significant correlation between anterior chamber depth and age; however, there was no association between age and other factors. Also, the results showed a significant correlation between the radius of cornal curvature, anterior chamber depth, corneal thickness and anterior-posterior length.
Conclusions: This study provides reference data for cataract patients from Yazd. The profiles of ocular biometric data can help improve surgical procedures and intraocular lens design for the Yazd population.
