“…In this study, parameters including horizontal corneal curvature, vertical corneal curvature, and height in both 4-and 5-year-old children and weight in 5-year-old children were significantly different from 2013 to 2019; however, few significant differences were observed in paired comparisons. Jiang et al [19] found that flatter horizontal corneal curvature was significantly associated with larger corneal diameter in 4-18-year-old children, which was significantly associated with taller body height but not correlated with time outdoors. Furthermore, an abnormally large cornea (2.6%) and an abnormally small cornea (2.4%) [19] were not classified or interpreted in this study but may influence the mean value of corneal curvature.…”

In addition, corneal curvature was also influenced by birth weight and gestational age [20][21][22].…”

Purpose To evaluate the time trend of axial length (AL) and associated factors in 4- and 5-year-old children in Shanghai from 2013 to 2019. Methods This was a 7-year observational study of 985 four-year-old and 1059 five-year-old children in Shanghai. AL, horizontal and vertical corneal curvature, spherical equivalent (SE), and body height and weight were measured. Furthermore, a questionnaire was collected, including time outdoors and bad eyesight habits. Results In 4-year-old children, no significant difference was found in AL (P = 0.526), but significant differences were observed in SE (P = 0.001), horizontal corneal curvature (P = 0.006), vertical corneal curvature (P = 0.004), height (P < 0.001), and weight (P = 0.022) from 2013 to 2019. In 5-year-old children, no significant differences were found in AL (P = 0.304), SE (P = 0.200), or weight (P = 0.292), but significant differences were observed in horizontal corneal curvature (P = 0.040), vertical corneal curvature (P = 0.015), and height (P < 0.001) from 2013 to 2019. Multivariate analyses revealed that AL was mainly significantly associated with boys and time outdoors in the 4- and 5-year-old children. Conclusions The AL of 4- and 5-year-old children remained relatively stable in Shanghai from 2013 to 2019. Longitudinal studies are needed to confirm the relationship between AL elongation and environmental risk factors.

“…The corneal horizontal diameter ( Y ), which is relatively constant in the eyes, was also measured. The reported mean corneal diameter among Chinese people is 12 mm [4]; the lower scleral show ( X ) was adjusted accordingly (Figure 1). Success was determined when the patient could wear an average-sized prosthesis without regrafting.…”

In anophthalmic patients, shallow lower fornices make wearing ocular prostheses impossible and maintaining normal social activities difficult. This study retrospectively investigated the long-term surgical outcomes of autologous auricular cartilage grafting for contracted orbits. From 1995 to 2013, 29 anophthalmic contracture sockets with inadequate lower fornices and poor prosthesis retention presented to Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Linkou, Taiwan, were treated using this surgical method. The success rate, aesthetic outcome, recurrence, and complications were analyzed. Among the 29 patients, 15 were women, 14 were men, their mean age was 45 years, and the mean follow-up time was 52 months (range = 6–159 months). Satisfactory lid position was achieved in 25 cases (86%), and lower fornix retraction recurred in four cases (14%). Neither donor site morbidity nor auricular deformity was noted during the follow-up period. Therefore, an auricular cartilage graft can be used successfully as a compatible spacer for anophthalmic patients with shallow lower fornices and prosthesis-fitting problems in long-term follow-up.

“…Using objective measurement techniques, the HVID in adults is on average 11.8 ± 0.5 mm, ranging between 10 and 14 mm [278]. It is adult size by age 4 [279] and slightly decreases with age (by 0.2 mm between aged 10 and 80 years) [280]. Corneal diameters have also been reported to vary with sex, ethnicity and culture.…”
