Popis: Purpose To determine the distribution of intraocular pressure (IOP), central corneal thickness (CCT) and vertical cup-to-disc ratio (VCDR) in the healthy Iranian population. Methods This population-based, epidemiologic study evaluated Iranian aged 40–80 years, residing in Yazd, Iran, in 2010–2011. Eligible subjects were selected by cluster random sampling. Each participant underwent an interview and ophthalmologic examination including slit lamp examination, Goldmann applanation tonometry, binocular optic disc evaluation, stereoscopic fundus photography, ultrasonic pachymetry and visual field testing. Results Of 2320 eligible individuals, 2098 subjects (response rate of 90.4%) participated in the study. One eye from 1159 subjects (total of 2262 normal eyes) were randomly selected for the purpose of the study. Mean age was 53.1 ± 9.6 years. Mean IOP, CCT and VCDR were 14.2 ± 2.5 mmHg, 543 ± 37 μm and 0.32 ± 0.14, respectively. Multiple regression analysis showed a significant correlation between IOP and age (regression coefficient = 0.02 per year, p = 0.015), CCT (regression coefficient = 0.02 per micron, p
