Purpose To determine normative corneal densitometry values in relation to age, sex, refractive error, corneal thickness, and keratometry, measured using the Oculus Pentacam system. Methods Three hundred and thirty-eight healthy subjects (185 men; 153 women) with no corneal disease underwent an exhau...
