Purpose: To determine age-related changes in corneal viscoelastic properties in healthy individuals. Methods: This observational cross-sectional study was performed at the Department of Ophthalmology, Imam Khomeini Hospital, Ahvaz, Iran and included 302 healthy individuals in 6 age decades (range: 10–69 years). After complete ocular examination, corneal viscoelastic properties were measured by ocular response analyzer and central corneal thickness (CCT) by an ultrasonic pachymeter. Our main outcome measures were corneal viscoelastic properties in different age groups. Results: Corneal hysteresis (CH) and corneal resistance factor (CRF) showed a significant negative correlation with age (P |
