Abstract

AIMS

Aim of the study is to compare biometry and keratometry values in low and high myopia

MATERIAL AND METHODS

A sample of 50 patients were selected aged between (6 to 60) years in OPD and divided into two equal

groups of low and high degree of myopia. Only myopic patients and those giving consent were included,

patients those who had undergone ocular surgery were excluded. After proper ocular examination

keratometry and A-scan biometry were measured from both the eyes of each patient.

RESULTS

The range of refraction did not differ very much between the two eyes. No significant difference was

found between low and high degree of myopia in corneal curvature. Patients with high myopia were found

to have longer axial length(P<0.0001) as compared to low myopic patients. CONCLUSION Axial length has a lot more effect on degree of myopia than corneal curvature.”
