Volume and depth of the anterior chamber in the normal aging human eye
S. T. Fontana and R. F. Brubaker
The dimensions of the anterior chamber were studied in 624 eyes of normal
subjects ranging in age from 10 to 70 years. It was found that the depth
and volume of the anterior chamber diminish with age and are related to the
degree of ametropia. Male subjects had larger anterior chamber dimensions
than female subjects. Frequency distributions suggested that these
dimensions were distributed normally in the test population. Age- and
sex-corrected percentile nomograms are illustrated, which can be used to
predict the likelihood of finding a particular anterior chamber dimension
in a normal eye.
