Corneal thickness, astigmatism, and atopy.

چکیده
Keratometry and regional pachometry were performed on atopic patients with no history or signs of atopic keratoconjunctivitis. In a series of 80 eyes there was a skewed distribution towards thinner corneas (p less than 0.01) and a preponderance of against-the-rule astigmatism. The maternal age at birth of this group of patients was higher than that in the general population. These findings are discussed in the context of the known association of atopy with keratoconus.

Background and purpose: Astigmatism is a common optical dysfunction, effective on various visual outcomes and one of the important criteria of refractive surgery. The aim of present study was to evaluate the correlation between refractive, corneal and residual astigmatism in refractive surgery candidates. Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive, analytical study, 200 patient...
متن کاملPosterior corneal astigmatism.
In the optical system of the human eye, total refractive power consists mainly of corneal and lenticular components. Approximately two-thirds of the eye's converging power is at the air–cornea (tear film) interface; one-third is in the lens. Total corneal power is determined by corneal anterior and posterior curvature, corneal thickness, and the corneal refractive indices. Traditionally, anteri...
متن کاملDetailed Distribution of Corneal Epithelial Thickness and Correlated Characteristics Measured with SD-OCT in Myopic Eyes
PURPOSE To investigate the detailed distribution of corneal epithelial thickness in single sectors and its correlated characteristics in myopic eyes. METHODS SD-OCT was used to measure the corneal epithelial thickness distribution profile. Differences of corneal epithelial thickness between different parameters and some correlations of characteristics were calculated. RESULTS The thickest a...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the torsional and flattening effect of steep meridian incisions and influence of posterior corneal astigmatism (PCA) on total corneal astigmatism (TCA) after cataract surgery. METHODS One hundred thirty-two eyes underwent cataract surgery with steep meridian 2.2 mm microcoaxial and 2.85 mm conventional clear corneal incisions. Eyes were divided into with-the-rule (WTR) ...
متن کاملSurgical induced astigmatism correlated with corneal pachymetry and intraocular pressure: transconjunctival sutureless 23-gauge versus 20-gauge sutured vitrectomy in diabetes mellitus.
AIM To determine the difference of surgical induced astigmatism between conventional 20-gauge sutured vitrectomy and 23-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy, and the influence of corneal pachymetry and intraocular pressure (IOP) on surgical induced astigmatism in diabetic patients. METHODS This retrospective, consecutive case series consisted of 40 eyes of 38 diabetic subjects who un...
