AbstractA retrospective study of 533 eyes, which underwent complete pre-operative evaluation for refractive surgery, was done. Regression Analysis was performed to find the correlation between corneal thickness and level of myopia and between corneal thickness and corneal curvature. There = was statistically significant correlation between corneal thickness and level of myopia (p 0.039) = and also in corneal thickness and corneal curvature (p 0.04). No clinical correlation was demon = = strated (R2 0.014 and R2 0.0153, respectively). There was no clinical correlation between corneal thickness and level of myopia and also between corneal thickness and corneal curvature.
