Abstract
- The radii of the corneal curvature were measured with ophthalmomter for 346 eyes which were normal other than the refractive conditions being taken into consideration. The subjects were male and female children aging from 10 years to 14 years selected randomly from primary school in Pusan city. The results were as follows: 1. The radius of the corneal curvature was longer in male than in female children in genral. 2. The mean value of horizontal meridian was longer than that of vertical meridian in all cases. 3. Correlation between the corneal radii and the refractive conditions in both sexes was not existed.
