AIM To determine changes in post-cataract surgery central corneal thickness (CCT) at Lagos University Teaching Hospital by assessing the time it takes for the cornea to return to its preoperative thickness value. METHODS This study is a prospective, hospital-based open within-patient controlled study with the unoperated eye controlling for the operated one. RESULTS Two hundred patients with...

PURPOSE To compare ultrasound pachymetry and Orbscan II for measurement of central corneal thickness (CCT) in normal eyes. METHODS The current study was performed at Labbafinejad Medical Center (LMC), Tehran, Iran. Three hundred eyes from 150 healthy individuals referred for keratorefractive surgery were assessed first by Orbscan II and then by ultrasound pachymetry, and CCT values were recor...

MAIN OBJECTIVE To evaluate the distribution of central corneal thickness (CCT) in a large German cohort and to analyse its relationship with intraocular pressure and further ocular factors. DESIGN Population-based, prospective, cohort study. METHODS The Gutenberg Health Study (GHS) cohort included 4,698 eligible enrollees of 5,000 subjects (age range 35-74 years) who participated in the sur...

OBJECTIVE To study the central corneal thickness of a Spanish population group and determine the influence of age, gender, axial length and refractive error on central corneal thickness (CCT) values. METHODS An observational, cross-sectional, double masked study was conducted on 357 eyes of consecutive Caucasian patients without ophthalmic disease. They were distributed according to age, and ...

To study the effect of Topical Latanoprost eye drops in patients with POAG on central corneal thickness. There are reports on literature to see the effect on CCT in patients of POAG, who is already in Latanoprost eye drop; however, there are very few studies to see the effect of these drops in CCT in Indian eyes.

Purpose: To compare thickness of central cornea measured using Pentacam, Orbscan II, and ultrasound pachymeter Methods: Patients with no history of corneal diseases or systemic diseases affecting eyes, who did not wear contact lens or use eye medications, and who with no previous history of corneal surgery were selected for this study. Central corneal thickness (CCT) was measured by three metho...

Purpose: To compare central corneal thickness (CCT) measurements of healthy individuals obtained with ultrasonic pachymetry (UP) and non-contact specular microscopy (NCSM). Method: In total, 148 eyes of 74 subjects with no ocular or systemic diseases were included in the study. Central corneal thickness measurements of all patients performed with UP and NCCM were compared. Results: A total ...

OBJECTIVE To study central corneal pachymetric variations during corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) treatment with the use of riboflavin and ultraviolet A irradiation (UVA). DESIGN Prospective, noncomparative, interventional clinical study. PARTICIPANTS Fifteen keratoconic patients (19 eyes) were enrolled. METHODS All patients underwent riboflavin-UVA-induced corneal CXL. Intraoperative...

The cornea is a specialized transparent tissue responsible for refracting light, serving as a protective barrier, and lending structural support to eye shape. Given its importance, the cornea exhibits a surprising amount of phenotypic variability in some traits, including central corneal thickness (CCT). More than a mere anatomic curiosity, differences in CCT have recently been associated with ...

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....
