  1. Analysis of Covariance was used to compare the estimated mean trabecular meshwork heights of the different age groups after adjusting for sex, CCT, IOP, and AXL.
  2. Post-hoc analysis was carried out with least significant difference (non-calibrated value) and multiple Bonferroni correction (calibrated value).
  3. IOP: Intraocular pressure; CCT: Central corneal thickness; AXL: axial length; SE: standard error.
