The effect of axial length on axial radius of curvature (ARC) in different points of the sclera. When the 24 eyes were grouped according to axial length (<24.0, 24.0 − 25.2, 25.2 − 26.1, and ≥26.1 mm; n = 6 for each group), only the mean ARC in each of the five temporal scleral points showed significant differences (temporal 7.0 mm: P = 0.001; temporal 7.5 mm: P = 0.001; temporal 8.0 mm: P = 0.002; temporal 8.5 mm: P = 0.004; temporal 9.0 mm: P =0.008). No significant differences were found among the five nasal scleral points. AXL axial length; Temp temporal. *P <0.05, One-way analysis of variance test
