Objective:

To evaluate the associations between corneal optical densitometry (COD) and various biometric parameters in healthy Upper Egyptian subjects.

Approach:

Key Findings:

• Study included 379 eyes from 379 subjects, with a mean age of 33 years.
• Mean spherical equivalent was -2.1 D, with 55.9% of participants being myopic.
• Significant differences in COD were observed across different age groups.

Interpretation:

The study provides insights into the relationship between COD and biometric parameters in a healthy Upper Egyptian population, highlighting the importance of regional studies in understanding corneal health.

Limitations:

• Cross-sectional design limits causal inferences.
• Results may not be generalizable to other populations due to ethnic and environmental differences.

Conclusion:

The findings underscore the relevance of COD in assessing corneal health and its associations with age and refractive error in a specific cohort.
