We have applied custom-built anterior segment optical coherence tomography based on a 1310 nm center wavelength swept laser source to measure Schlemm's canal (SC) area in the living human eye. A total of 50 healthy volunteers with 100 normal eyes have been measured on the nasal and temporal sides successfully. The statistical results show that there are no significant differences between females and males in respect of SC area (female: 8062.24 mu m(2) +/- 1492.304 mu m(2); male: 7714: 52 mu m(2) +/- 1439: 034 mu m(2); p = 0.095), and also no significant differences of SC area are found between the five age groups (Sig = 0.253). Therefore, it would be reasonable to assume that, in normal human eyes, the SC possibly maintains the same impact on the gender-and age-related aqueous outflow facility.
