The relationship between axial length and anterior segment biometry in high axial myopic Chinese students aged 7 to 18 years
In Chinese children and adolescents, a high AL (i.e., ≥26 mm) was associated with significantly lower K, thicker CCT, and deeper ACD, and thinner LT compared with subjects having AL < 26 mm. When AL was <27 mm, LT thinning may contribute to myopia compensation; however, when AL exceeds 27 mm, this compensatory effect of crystalline lens thickness appears to diminish.
