Central Corneal Thickness in Children
Results: A total of 2079 children were included in the study, with ages ranging from birth to 17 years. Included were 807 whites, 494 Hispanics, and 474 African Americans, in addition to Asian, unknown race, and mixed-race individuals. African American children had thinner corneas on average than that of both white and Hispanic children (P .001 for both) by approximately 20 μm. Thicker median C...
متن کاملCentral corneal thickness in Latinos.
PURPOSE To characterize central corneal thickness (CCT) in Latinos aged 40 or more years. METHODS A population-based cohort of Latinos from two census tracts in La Puente, California, underwent measurements of CCT and intraocular pressure (IOP). CCT was measured with an ultrasonic pachymeter, and IOP was measured by applanation tonometry. One eye of each of 1699 participants was included in t...
متن کاملCentral corneal thickness in high myopia.
PURPOSE To examine if central corneal thickness (CCT) is different in emmetropia and high myopia. METHODS 57 emmetropic subjects (0 to + 1.5 D) and 48 high myopes (all more than - 6 D in spherical equivalent refraction) were studied. CCT was measured by a Haag-Streit Optical Low-Coherence Reflectometry (OLCR) pachymeter, a recently developed high precision pachymeter with a standard deviation...
متن کاملIntraocular pressure and central corneal thickness.
From the results of the Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study emerged the conclusion that ocular hypertensive subjects with thinner central corneal thickness (CCT) are at increased risk of developing glaucoma. Although possible underlying biases that could have led to this conclusion are still under investigation, there is an increasing interest in the scientific community to understand the poten...
متن کاملCentral corneal thickness and applanation tonometry.
after sub-Tenon anesthesia In their recent article, 1 Subbiah et al. noted that a rigid sub-Tenon cannula caused complications such as a retrobulbar hemorrhage, albeit rarely. The authors concluded that a ‘‘soft cannula’’ could be an ideal alternative for sub-Tenon injection in high-risk patients. We reported the same thing in our Sandwell technique, in which the soft plastic sheath of a Venflo...
