In aphakic eyes, the mean CD values were higher in most of the anterior, center, and posterior layers of 0\u20132\u00a0mm, 2\u20136\u00a0mm, 6\u201310\u00a0mm, and total zones (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001 for all). In pseudophakic eyes, the mean CD values were statistically similar with that of aphakic eyes and higher than that of JOAG and control eyes in all layers of 0\u20132\u00a0mm zone and in anterior layer of 10\u201312\u00a0mm and anterior and total layers of 2\u20136\u00a0mm zones (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05 for all). The CD values demonstrated significant correlations with CCT values in both aphakic and pseudophakic eyes.
