Lack of statistical power and refractive outcomes.
In their excellent study, Sahin et al. investigated the effect of diabetes mellitus on various corneal biomechanical parameters, as measured by the Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA; Reichert, Inc., Depew, NY). The rationale of their study is very interesting. To my surprise, the authors showed a decrease in corneal hysteresis (CH) rather than the expected increase. Several factors suggest that dia...
متن کاملSmoking and corneal biomechanics.
Dear Editor: Changes in the biomechanical properties of the human cornea play an important role in the pathogenesis of corneal dystrophies such as pellucid marginal corneal degeneration and keratoconus. The latter primarily affects young people and is a leading cause of severe visual impairment. Keratoconus is characterized by weakened corneal biomechanics that leads to progressive bulging and ...

متن کاملThe Impact of Chronic Tobacco Smoking on Retinal and Choroidal Thickness in Greek Population
Aim. To investigate the effect of more than 25-year cigarette smoking on choroidal and retinal thickness, using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Methods. Thirty-one smokers and 25 age- and sex-matched nonsmokers, serving as control group, were submitted to slit-lamp biomicroscopy and dilated fundoscopy, SD-OCT, measurements of intraocular pressure (IOP), central corneal th...
