Gender and age-related differences of ccular biometric parameters in patients undergoing cataract surgery in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Purpose: To determine the distribution and mutual relationship of ocular biometric parameters, as well as to evaluate gender- and age-related differences in patients undergoing cataract surgery in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Materials and methods: It was a retrospective cross-sectional study of consecutive patients who underwent cataract surgery between January 2017 and December 2021 in a tertiary care clinic. All biometric measurements were performed using the optical biometer OA-2000 (Tomey, Nagoya, Japan).
Results: The study evaluated 1278 eyes from 1278 consecutive cataract patients. The average age of all included patients was 69.4 ± 9.98 (range 40–96). A total of 672 eyes (52.58%) were from females. The mean axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), and mean keratometry were 23.46±1.18mm, 3.17±0.40mm, 4.54±0.48mm, 43.42±1.55D respectively. Corneal astigmatism of ≥1D, >2D and >3D was found in 33.4%, 7.8% and 2.5% patients, respectively. Females were fo..., This was a retrospective cross-sectional study of the eyes of 1278 consecutive patients who underwent cataract surgery in a private tertiary care clinic in Bosnia and Herzegovina, between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2021. All included patients were citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina and belong to different ethnic groups. However, there is no major genetic difference between three major ethnic groups in Bosnia and Herzegovina, (Bosniaks, Bosnian Serbs, and Bosnian Croats), indicating that they present the same gene pool. Furthermore, the human population of Bosnia and Herzegovina is closely related to other populations in the Balkans. In patients who underwent surgery on both eyes, we used data for the right eye only. The current study was approved by the institution’s Ethics Committee (Approval number: 01-1-2022). Informed consent was obtained from all patients included in the study at the time of cataract surgery, and the study was conducted according to the Declarations of Helsi..., , **GENERAL INFORMATION**
