Relationship Between Corneal Thickness and Level of Myopia
Srivannaboon S 
A retrospective study of 533 eyes, which underwent complete pre-operative evaluation for
refractive surgery, was done. Regression Analysis was performed to find the correlation between
corneal thickness and level of myopia and between corneal thickness and corneal curvature. There
was statistically significant correlation between corneal thickness and level of myopia (p
=
0.039)
and also in corneal thickness and corneal curvature (p
=
0.04). No clinical correlation was demon-
strated (R2
=
0.014 and R2
=
0.0153, respectively).
There was no clinical correlation between corneal thickness and level of myopia and also
between corneal thickness and corneal curvature.
