The aim of this study is to determine the normal range of axial length, anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, and vitreous chamber depth in the population of Shahroud in the north of Iran.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>In the first phase of Shahroud Eye Cohort Study, the 40\u201364\u2009year old population were sampled cross-sectionally; 6311 were invited and 5190 (82.2%) participated in the study. Biometric examinations were done using the LENSTAR<jats:bold>\/<\/jats:bold>BioGraph (WaveLight AG, Erlangen, Germany) after vision tests and before cycloplegic refraction tests.
