Objective: To determine the changes in corneal epithelial thickness and central using optic coherence tomography taken after Goldmann applanation tonometry measurements. Material Methods: The study included 25 patients who presented at our clinic for routine ophthalmological examination. Before taking measurements of patients, values were determined cohence (OCT). intraocular pressure (IOP) was...

The aim of this work was to study the central corneal thickness values and interobserver variability using a noncontact specular microscope. Methods: 62 eyes from 31 healthy subjects were studied with the Topcon SP-2000P noncontact specular microscope (Topcon Corp., Tokyo, Japan). 16 (51.61%) were females, and 15 (48.38%) were males. The mean age of the sample was 31.83±5.68 years. The mean of ...

PURPOSE To establish correlations between intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements obtained with the ocular response analyzer (ORA) and the Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT). The effects of central corneal thickness on the measures obtained were also examined. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study. IOP was determined in 48 eyes of 48 patients with glaucoma In all patients, central cornea...

purpose: to investigate central corneal thickness (cct), endothelial cell characteristics and intraocular pressure (iop) in congenital cataract extracted eyes and to compare the results with eyes of normal age and sex matched controls. methods: cct and iop measurements and specular microscopy were performed in 31 eyes of 17 cases of extracted congenital cataracts and 40 eyes of 20 age and sex m...

INTRODUCTION Precise measurement of corneal thickness is of crucial importance in corneal refractive procedures. The aim of this work is to compare the central corneal thickness measurements using Scheimpflug imaging (Pentacam) and contact US pachymetry in normal myopic patients. METHODS This retrospective cohort study was conducted on in 144 eyes of 72 normal myopic patients during 6 months....

BACKGROUND/AIMS Recent studies have revealed patients with ocular hypertension to have thicker than normal central corneas and those with normal tension glaucoma to have thinner than normal ones, as determined by ultrasonic pachymetry. Since corneal thickness measurements and applanation tonometric estimates of intraocular pressure (IOP) correlate positively, monitoring of the former parameter ...

Purpose: To compare central corneal thickness (CCT), corneal endothelial cell density, and lens capsule thickness in normotensive patients with and without pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXS) Methods: This was a prospective, comparative, descriptive study. Normotensive candidates for cataract surgery with (study group) and without (control group) PXS were enrolled in the study. CCT and corneal end...

AIMS The aims of this study were to re-assess the histopathology of the disease by introducing more modern measuring techniques and to determine if axial stromal thinning, which is the most apparent change, is related to the other alterations observed. METHODS Recipient keratoconic corneas from 36 patients following corneal transplantation were studied. Haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and period...
