Abstract

In 106 eyes in 53 adult dogs with normal cornea, anterior chamber, and intraocular pressure, ranging in weight from 1.7 to 23.9kg, we investigated the thickness of the cornea using an ultrasonic pachymeter. The center portion was thinner than the peripheral portion. The superior peripheral thickness was significantly thicker than the nasal peripheral thickness and, the temporal or inferior peripheral thickness. No correlation between the corneal thickness and, corneal size and component factors of the axial length of the ocular bulbus, i.e., the depth of the anterior chamber, the thickness of the lens, the axial length of the vitreous body and the total axial length.
