 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 12 Axial length and age-related analysis of cataract surgery Author: WU Chang-fan Cairui Ling Bao-Ling Huang, Hsu Chin-Lang Ping 【Abstract】 Objective: To observe the cataract surgery in patients with the relationship between age and axial length. Methods: The hospital 2001/2004 1 004 cases of primary cataract surgery in patients with age, axial length, according to axial length of the points A, B, C 3 groups, each group compared operative age, and age and axial length of the surgery for correlation analysis. Results: The axial length of C, cataract surgery in patients with a mean age (64.25 ± 8.0) years, while the axial length of A group, the average age of surgery was only 67.44 ± 9.16 years, significantly different (P = 0.002). Surgery age and axial length of a weak negative correlation, r =- 0.25, P = 0.015. Conclusion: With the increase of axial length of cataract surgery in patients with younger age at the trend. Keywords: age, axial length of cataract surgery Changes in axial length and age at cataract surgery in Chinese Abstract AIM: To investigate the relation of axial length and the age of patients undergoing cataract.Methods: Ages and axial lengths of 1 004 patient undergone cataract surgery from 2001 to 2004 were recorded and collected. The patients were divided into three groups (A, B and C) according to the axial length. The age at cataract surgery and correlation between age and axial length were analyzed. RESULTS: The means age (years) at cataract surgery in group C was significantly lower than that in group A (64.25 ± 8.0vs 67.44 ± 9.16, P = 0.002). There are less significant correlation between the age at cataract surgery and the axial length (r =- 0.25, P = 0.015). CONCLUSION: Age at cataract surgery tends to become lower with the increasing of the axial length of the eye. * KEYWORDS: cataract surgery; age; axial lengths 0 Introduction With the population growth and aging
