Abstract

This study aims at finding out whether there is any correlation between the height of the individual and the axial length in the absence of any refractive error. This research is very relevant especially in the scenario where refractive surgeries are very common . This is an anthropometric data which will give insight into prediction of axial length for paediatric age group. Introduction Axial length is the distance between the centre of the cornea and the posterior pole of the eye This is the first ever study which is establishing a correlation between the height of the individual and the axial length in an emmetrope. Till date an increased axial length has always been attributed to myopia but anthropometric effect on the axial length of the eye has never been studied Aim of the study- 1.Study of the correlation between two important anthropometric data height of the individual and axial length. 2. Make suggestions and polices for intake into various jobs in combat role.
