| Summary: |
Purpose: To determine, whether the presence
of astigmatism has an influence on the creation of myopia.
Material and methods: A total of 167 people with myopia (117 women and 50
men) of the age between 12 and 51 were examined. The overall average age was 24. Routine
ophthalmological examinations, keratometry as well as refractometry were carried out. The
data was analysed using the coefficient of rang Spearman's correlation and the coeffcient
of linear Pearson's correlation.
Results: A negative correlation was found between the corneal astigmatism
and myopia progress (P < 0,000001). A positive correlation was observed between total
astigmatism and myopia (P < 0,000001).
Conclusions: Corneal and total astigmatism predisposes the progress of
myopia. |
