    The study examined corneal biomechanics and endothelial morphology in 122 healthy Saudi adults aged 18–40 years.

  • 2

    Corneal thickness was identified as the strongest predictor of biomechanical parameters measured by the Ocular Response Analyzer.

  • 3

    Significant correlations were found between central corneal thickness and corneal hysteresis, resistance factor, and intraocular pressure.

  • 4

    Endothelial cell density negatively correlated with intraocular pressure, indicating a potential relationship between these factors.

  • 5

    Findings provide normative data for corneal biomechanics in Saudi Arabia, relevant for refractive surgery and glaucoma assessment.
