Description
Sakka and co-authors measure how men's and women's eyes differ before cataract surgery. Picking the right lens implant depends on precise eye measures. So the team scans over 6,200 eyes of Greek patients with a swept-source device, comparing lengths, depths, and curve values by sex and age.
Men's eyes run longer and deeper, with wider white-to-white spans, while women's corneas curve more steeply. In both sexes the cornea's warp shifts direction with age, about ten years sooner in men. Women's eyes also land more often at the extremes of the predicted lens power range. The authors offer these figures as population data for planning surgery in Greece.
