Abstract
The right eye of 105 healthy subjects aged 14–48 years were examined. The mean central corneal thickness was 0.532 mm. The mean horizontal and vertical radius of central anterior corneal curvature was 7.86 mm and 7.66 mm, respectively. The results indicated that some weak, positive association probably exists between the thickness and curvature of the central cornea, the coefficient of regression between the 2 parameters being about 1.5. Thus a thick cornea tends to be slightly flatter than a thin cornea.Keywords
