Distribution of lens thickness in dependence of the axial length. a Scatter plot showing the LT against AL among cataract patients. In short eyes, the equation resulting from the linear regression analysis (red line) was: LT (mm) = 0.024 AL (mm) + 4.241 mm (r = 0.076, P = 0.004). In normal eyes, the equation resulting from the linear regression analysis (orange line) was: LT (mm) = − 0.117 AL (mm) + 7.281 mm (r = − 0.166, P < 0.001). In moderate myopic eyes, no significant correlation was found between LT and AL (green dotted line; r = − 0.006, P = 0.760). In highly myopic eyes, the equation resulting from the linear regression analysis (blue line) was: LT (mm) = 0.040 AL (mm) + 3.235 mm (r = 0.207, P < 0.001). b Histogram showing the comparisons of LT in different AL groups after adjusting for age and gender.
