Methods The Beijing Eye Study 2006 is a population-based study including 3,251 (73.3%) subjects (aged 45+ years) out of 4,439 subjects
who participated in the survey in 2001 and who returned for re-examination. Central corneal thickness (CCT) measurements were
performed by slit lamp-based optical coherence tomography.
Results Central corneal thickness measurement data were available for 3,100 (95.4%) subjects. Mean CCT was 556.2±33.1 μm (median:
553 μm; range: 429–688 μm). In multiple regression analysis ...
