Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine Correlation analysis of central corneal thickness, anterior chamber volume, and anterior chamber depth in Koreans aged 20 to 24 years using the Pentacam tool. Methods: The subjects of this study were 53 Korean adults with healthy eyes. The central corneal thickness(CCT), anterior chamber volume(ACV), and anterior chamber depth(ACD) was measured with Pentacam device. Data was analyzed by means of the Pearson's correlation cofficient. P-values<0.001 were considered statistically significant. Results: Mean age of subjects was 22.0±2.01 years. The mean +/- central corneal thickness of the right eye and left eye were 546.66±32.221mmg and 545.70±32.759mm, respectively. Also The mean central cornea thickness was 546.19 um in the whole sample. The mean anterior chamber volume the right eye and left eye was 181.66±33.738 mm³ and 180.12±30.84 mm³, respectively. The mean anterior chamber depth was 3.158±0.257 mm and 3.122±0.233 mm in right eye and left eye, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between anterior camber volume and anterior chamber depth(p<0.001, Pearson's correlation). However there was no statistically significant difference between central cornea thickness and anterior chamber volume. Also there was no statistically significant difference between central cornea thickness and anterior chamber depth. Conclusion: The results of this study could be used as a clinical reference data for diagnosis and treatment of cornea in Korean adolescents.
