Bell paralizili hastalarda korneal morfolojik ve topografik değişikliklerin değerlendirilmesi

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of ocular surface changes that may develop due to Bell’s palsy (BP) on dry eye parameters, corneal densitometry values, and aberrations in patients with unilateral BP compare them sound eyes.
 Materials Methods: A total 33 eyes diagnosed fellow were enrolled this study. complete ophthalmologic examination including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure measurement, slit-lamp biomicroscopy observe superficial punctate keratopathy (SPK), tear break-up time (TBUT) test, detailed fundoscopic was performed for all patients. The topographic, densitometric, aberrometric measurements using Pentacam Scheimpflug imaging system.
 Results: mean age 54.9±14.7 years whom 19 (57.6%) female; 14 (42.4%) male. According House-Brackmann scale, majority had grade II facial nerve palsy. BCVA affected lower 0.74±0.23 compared 0.87±0.21 (p=0.029). TBUT 6.0±4.7 by 8.7±4.0 (p=0.014). SPK present 23 (69.7%) comparison values revealed anterior concentric zones slightly higher eyes. Corneal also No significant difference observed between terms keratometric, (p>0.05, all).
 Conclusions: exposure leading complications, lowering production lead findings is essential. main priority ophthalmologist ensure adequate protection prevent undesired outcomes.
