AIM: To examination the thickness of Chinese
Descemet's membrane and investigate the correlation
with age．
METHODS: Twenty － seven normal corneas with ages
ranging from 0． 2 to 78y old were collected． All specimens
were stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin，and viewed
and photographed at ×400 through a calibrated Motic light
photomicroscope． Four measurement sites on each
specimen micrograph were chosen and the boundary of
Descemet's membrane was designated manually， then
the Descemet's membrane thickness was measured by the
software of Motic Images Plus 2． 0 automatically． The
relationship between Descemet's membrane thickness and
age was analyzed by using linear regression methods．
ＲESULTS: The thickness of Chinese Descemet's
membrane various from 1． 78 to 9． 30 μm，averaged 4． 63±
2． 00 μm． There is a highly significant positive correlation
between age and thickness of Descemet's membrane ( r =
0． 776，P = 0． 000) ． The estimated equation that best
describes the relationship of thickness with age can be
expressed as: Thickness ( μm) = 2． 010+0． 063y．
CONCLUSION: There is a significant positive
association between age and the thickness of Descemet's
membrane in Chinese people．
