| Summary: |
Purpose: To
evaluate central corneal thickness in children.
Material and methods: Central corneal thickness
was measured with the use of ultrasound pachymeter in
360 children aged 0-14 years.
Results: Mean central corneal thickness was 537
mm after the birth and 567 mm in the age of 14 years.
Wide differences between minimum and maximum recorded
values were observed (410-650 mm) in first 2 years of
life, and 420-640 mm in years 2-14.
Conclusions:
1. Mean central corneal thickness in children (even in
small one's) does not differ significantly from adults
and does not change with age.
2. Great differences between minimum and maximum
recorded values were observed in children (especially in
first two years of life), exceeding the range in adults.
3. IOP measurements in children should be corrected
according to the results of central corneal thickness. |
