The effect of short-term fasting on ocular biometry

Introduction: Islamic religious fasting is an action that inhibits its believers from consuming any food or drink and sometimes fasting can also be observed on Mondays or Thursdays. Ocular biometry parameters which include axial length, anterior chamber angle and depth play significant role in det...
