| Summary: |
Purpose: To
estimate the central corneal thickness in young patients
and to evaluate the relationship between the intraocular
pressure (IOP) and pachometry.
Patients and methods: Eighty eyes of 40 children
at the age from 9-18 years, mean 13,75 were examined.
The applanation tonometry, pachometry, refraction and
examination of corneal diameter were done. To
statistical purpose t-Student test was used a = 0,05.
Results: IOP ranged from 12 to 24 mmHg, in 32
eyes was above 17 mmHg, mean 20,2 ± 1,46 mmHg (I group)
and in 48 eyeballs ranged from 12 to 17 mmHg, mean 15,6
± 0,96 mmHg (II group), p = 0. In the I group pachometry
was from 480 to 591 µm, mean 542 ± 11,1 and in the II
group from 451 to 570 µm mean 521,7 ± 9,39 p = 0,006.
Mean refractive error in the I group was -0,4 D (from
-5,0 to +4,0 D) and in the II group mean -0,8 (from
-6,25 to +4,75), p = 0,45. In the both groups corneal
diameter was from 11,5 to 12,5 mm. Comparing eyeballs of
patients at similar age, refraction and corneal diameter,
it was shown that central corneal thickness in the group
with higher IOP was statistically significantly bigger
than in the group II.
Conclusion: Measuring IOP in children we have to
take into account the corneal thickness. |
