It is commonly defined as the distance from the front surface of the cornea to the retina at the back of the eye. Clinicians use axial length as a core eye measurement in cataract surgery planning and in myopia (nearsightedness) evaluation. It is also used in research and clinical monitoring of eye growth and certain eye disease risks."}
