Description
Jae Ryong Song and co-authors chart eye measurements in the Korean population in a 2025 paper. Eye biometry guides cataract surgery and myopia care, yet varies by ancestry, sex, and age. The team pulled readings from a swept-source scanning device for over sixty-seven hundred eyes, one per person, spanning children and adults.
Every measure differed between the sexes: men had longer eyes, flatter corneas, deeper front chambers, and thicker corneas. In children, eye length shot up until about age eleven, then slowed. In adults, the lens thickened steadily with age while the front chamber shallowed. Longer eyes went with flatter corneas across the sample. The authors offer the figures as reference values for Korean clinics planning surgery and tracking myopia.
