Abstract

Objectives: 1. To evaluate the axial length/ corneal radius ratio (AL/CR), axis length (AL), corneal refractive power (CP). 2. Comparing the Correlation between Axial Length/Corneal Radius Ratio (AL/CR), Axial Length (AL), Corneal Power (CP) and Spherical Equivalent (SE) in Myopic Eyes of Children. Objects and methods: A descriptive study was conducted on 212 eyes (106 patients, 6-15 years old) diagnosed with myopia (SE≤ -0.5D). Results: The average degree of myopia, AL/CR, AL and CP were -3.21 ± 1.62 D, 3.21 ± 0.11, 24.87 ± 0.97  mm and 43.58 ± 1.39 D, respectively. There was a strong correlation between AL/CR and myopia degree (r=-0.740; p< 0.001); the AL/CR ratio correlates more strongly with myopia degree than AL or CP alone.
