This cross-sectional study showed a general pattern of ocular biometric components. The axial length value was almost similar to European countries, but less than that in the Eastern and Southeast Asian populations. By increasing age, axial length and vitreous chamber depth increased while lens thickness and spherical equivalent decreased. Among all ocular biometric components, axial length was strongest determinant for spherical equivalent.
