Abstract
We derived estimates of the van Herick ratio or grading in a retrospec tive study using a Chinese clinical population. We found that the van Herick ratio decreased with age and increased with higher degrees of m yopia. A lower van Herick ratio was found to be associated with higher intraocular pressure. There are significantly more patients with lowe r van Herick ratios or grades in our population than in populations de scribed by others.
