CCT: central corneal thickness; ACD: anterior chamber depth; LT: lens thickness; AL: axial length; K1: flat meridian; K2: steep meridian; SE: spherical equivalent; D: diopters; DM: diabetes mellitus; HbA1c: hemoglobin A1c. Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed). Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed). aBeta values by multiple linear regression models, other data are r values by Pearson correlation.
