A Comparison of Corneal Biomechanical Properties of Chronic Smokers and Non-Smokers Using the Ocular Response Analyzer
Chronic smoking has negative effects on the ocular surface; chronic smokers had lower Schirmer scores in the corneas [1], a higher degree of squamous metaplasia [2,3], a higher grade of lipid layer changes in tears [3], and lower tear film break-up time compared with non-smokers [1-4]. Smoking also affects tear secretion and protein components in tears [5,6]. Furthermore, cigarette smoking may ...
متن کاملevaluation of corneal biomechanical properties following scleral buckling using the ocular response analyzer
purpose : to evaluate corneal visco-elasticity and intraocular pressure (iop) changes measured by an ocular response analyzer (ora) after scleral buckling methods : fifty-six eyes with history of scleral buckling surgery three months ago were included in the study. corneal hysteresis (ch), corneal resistance factor (crf), corneal-compensated iop (iopcc) and goldmann-correlated iop (iopg) were m...
متن کاملComparison of Cotinine Salivary Levels in Hookah Smokers, Passive Smokers, and Non-Smokers
Background: At present smoking is considered a great health-related problem. Smoking cigarettes and use of tobacco are on the rise in the Middle East countries; therefore, the number of people exposed to passive cigarette smoke is increasing, too. The aim of the present study was to determine and compare salivary cotinine levels in hookah smokers, individuals exposed to passive cigarette smoke ...
متن کاملDetermination of Total Antioxidant Capacity in Saliva of Smokers and Non-smokers with Chronic Periodontitis
Background: Periodontal diseases in smokers are 2.6 to 6 times higher than non-smokers and their response to treatment is much lower. Reducing levels of antioxidants and consequently increasing oxidative damage in the pathogenesis of periodontitis is effective. Regarding the importance of free radicals in the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases, the aim of this study was to investigate the eff...
متن کاملEvaluation of Corneal Biomechanical Properties Following Penetrating Keratoplasty Using the Ocular Response Analyzer
PURPOSE To evaluate corneal biomechanical properties in eyes that had previously undergone penetrating keratoplasty (PK) using the ocular response analyzer (ORA). METHODS We recruited 26 patients who had received unilateral PK. Corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CRF), Goldmann-correlated intraocular pressure (IOPg), and cornea-compensated intraocular pressure (IOPcc) were mea...
