The information search was carried out for the period 1990 to 2020, finding six studies containing data on measurements in 384 eyes for the depth of the anterior chamber and the thickness of the lens, 212 eyes for the vitreous depth and 436 eyes for the axial axis. ocular. Results: The weighted mean for the dimensions was: anterior chamber depth: 2.4 mm, lens thickness: 3.7 mm, vitreous depth: 10.8 mm, and ocular axial axis length: 16.9 mm.
