Objective: To measure and conduct statistic analysis of normal eyes by Pentacam. Methods: Two hundred and twenty-one healthy people (442 eyes) underwent examinations of Pentacam, and they were divided into 5 groups by age: <40 years old group (50 people, 100 eyes), 40-49 years old group (50 people, 100 eyes), 50-59 years old group (50 people, 100 eyes), 60-69 years old group (50 people, 100 eyes) and >70 years old group (21 people, 42 eyes). Results: With the increase of age, there were significant differences in chamber volume, chamber angle and anterior chamber depth among age groups (P <0.05) . In elder age groups, there were significant differences in these parameters between males and females (P <0.01). Conclusion: Anterior segment parameters are significantly correlated with age. After 60 years old, the anterior segment parameters become significantly different with gender. LA: Chinese
