Résumé
Background
Corneal variables such as thickness, curvature and diameter are important for ocular assessments in children. Despite this, there is limited normative data relevant to children for these corneal variables. Developmental changes, together with potential demographic differences, complicate the direct extrapolation of adult reference values to paediatric populations.
Purpose
To map literature related to corneal thickness, curvature, and diameter in healthy children.
