Objectives: This study aimed at retrospectively investigating how such morphometric measures of right bulbus oculi (RBO) and left bulbus oculi (LBO) as camera anterior, lens, vitreous, and total axial length varied among cataract patients by age and gender. Methods: This study employed the camera anterior, lens, vitreous, and total axial length measures obtained from the RBOs and LBOs of the patients coming to Diyarbakır Gazi Yaşargil Training and Research Hospital Eye Diseases Clinic for cataract operation in preop. Based on such measures, the data were subjected to t-test and correlation analysis. IBM SPSS Statistics 22.0 for Windows was used in analyses. Results: The data obtained from 118 subjects 63 (53%) of whom were male, and 55 (47%) of whom were female were included in analysis. While the average age of the males was 70 ±11, that of the females was 70±13. The t-test indicated that vitreous and total axial length obtained from RBO and total axial length obtained from LBO varied significantly by gender, but camera anterior and lens obtained from RBO and LBO and vitreous obtained from LBO did not vary significantly by gender. The correlation analysis demonstrated that camera anterior and vitreous obtained from RBO and LBO had a poor negative relationship with age; and lens obtained from RBO and LBO had a poor positive relationship with age. Conclusion: It was concluded that such RBO and LBO measures as camera anterior, lens, vitreous, and total axial length had a poor relationship with age and gender. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
