The mean age was 64.04 \u00b1 10.81 years. The mean AL, ACD, WTW, corneal power, IOL power, and body mass index (BMI) were 23.34 \u00b1 1.12 mm, 3.12 \u00b1 0.39 mm, 11.92 \u00b1 0.54 mm, 44.41 \u00b1 1.50 diopter (D), 20.53 \u00b1 2.79 D, and 26.12 \u00b1 4.32, respectively. Against-the-rule, with-the-rule, and oblique astigmatisms were 48.4%, 33.2%, and 18.4%, respectively. Corneal astigmatism of \u22651 D was found in 292 eyes (45.55%) and &gt;1.5 D in 182 eyes (28.39%). AL had statistically significant correlation with ACD, WTW, K, IOL power, height and weight but not with age. By multivariate analysis, AL was found to be associated with ACD, WTW, K and IOL power (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2264 0.05).
