ABSTRACT: Purpose: Biometry measurement of pre-operative cataract patients plays a major role in
calculating intraocular lens power. This study aimed to review and determine
the distribution of biometry components, such as axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), and lens
thickness (LT) of pre-operative cataract patient in Indonesian
population. Methods: A cross-sectional study data were obtained from
2015-2018 cataract surgery at Prima Husada Citra Hospital, Surabaya, East Java,
Indonesia. A total of 1295 eyes
with cataract was included in the study based on their medical record. We analyzed the
data using descriptive analysis and correlated each variable using the Spearman’s Rho analysis. Results: Mean AL, LT and ACD was 23.81 ± 1.46 mm, 4.49 ± 0.55 mm, 3.25 ± 0.70 mm respectively. Male has longer AL and deeper
ACD with (p p = 0.005). The increase
of AL was accompanied by ACD (r = 0.457; p r = -0.101; p Conclusions: LT is increased with age while AL and ACD are
shortened with age. There was a positive correlation between AL and ACD, but an inverse correlation
between AL and LT.
