PURPOSE: To determine the distribution of the corneal asphericity coefficient (Q value) and related factors in an Iranian geriatric population.
METHODS: This population-based study was conducted in 2019 in Tehran, using stratified multistage random cluster sampling. The study population was ≥60 years of age. Participants underwent corneal imaging using a Pentacam HR. Mean keratometry, corneal astigmatism, central corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth and the overall anterior and posterior Q values (for 8 mm chord diameter) were recorded. Axial length measurements were performed using the IOL Master 500.
RESULTS: 2457 eyes of 2457 individuals were analysed. The mean age was 67.3 ± 5.82 years and 1479 (60.2%) were female. The mean Q value for the anterior corneal surface was -0.35 ± 0.17 (95% CI: -0.35 to -0.34). The anterior Q value showed a statistically significant inverse relationship with axial length and mean keratometry, and a significant direct association with anterior chamber depth and corneal astigmatism. The mean posterior Q value was -0.41 ± 0.15 (95% CI: -0.42 to -0.40). The posterior Q value had a significant direct relationship with age, anterior chamber depth, mean keratometry and corneal astigmatism.
CONCLUSION: The corneal Q values in this geriatric Iranian population were more negative than the values reported in most previous studies. Corneal asphericity was greater affected by ocular biometry and corneal curvature than demographic factors and refractive status.
