What is it about?
The findings showed that the myopic eyes had a deeper ACD than hyperopic eyes, P=0.0001. However, the hyperopic eyes had a thicker lens than the myopic eyes P=0.640. The myopic eyes had a higher axial length/corneal radius AL/CR ratio than hyperopic eyes, with P=0.0001. Myopic spherical equivalent (SPH) positively correlated with VCD and AL/CR ratio, P=0.0001. Vitreous chamber depth/Axial length ratio (VCD/AL) in the myopic eyes was higher (0.693±0.041) than in the hyperopic eyes (0.677±0.018), P=0.000.

Why is it important?
Ocular biometrics, such as corneal curvature, axial length, anterior chamber depth, and lens thickness, play a significant role in the development of refractive error and are essential in many clinical and research applications.
Perspectives
Our study suggests the possible utility of the AL/CR ratio while assessing the development of myopic refractive error and the VCD/AL ratio when evaluating hyperopic eyes and their associated complications.
