Abstract: Introduction: This study aimed to determine the relationship between Central Corneal Thickness (CCT) and degree of myopia at Bali Mandara Eye Hospital. Methods: This study was an analytical observational with cross-sectional design. Data taken from 486 eyes from 243 medical records from Bali Mandara Eye Hospital consist of 128 males and 115 females. Variables collected was age, gender, CCT and degree of myopia. The relationships among variables were tested using chi-square analysis with significant value p< 0,05. Results: The mean age of the subject was 23.6 ? 6.1 years (range 18-40 years). Most degree of myopia were severe (57,2 %) and most CCT were thick (52,9%). The mean CCT was 554.6 mm, with a standard deviation (SD) of 38.8 (range 456-709) ?m. No correlation was found between CCT and degree of myopia (p=0.175). Conclusions: This study showed no correlation between CCT and degree of myopia.
