Central Corneal Thickness in Children
Results: A total of 2079 children were included in the study, with ages ranging from birth to 17 years. Included were 807 whites, 494 Hispanics, and 474 African Americans, in addition to Asian, unknown race, and mixed-race individuals. African American children had thinner corneas on average than that of both white and Hispanic children (P .001 for both) by approximately 20 μm. Thicker median C...
متن کاملCentral corneal thickness in Latinos.
PURPOSE To characterize central corneal thickness (CCT) in Latinos aged 40 or more years. METHODS A population-based cohort of Latinos from two census tracts in La Puente, California, underwent measurements of CCT and intraocular pressure (IOP). CCT was measured with an ultrasonic pachymeter, and IOP was measured by applanation tonometry. One eye of each of 1699 participants was included in t...
متن کاملThe relationship between diurnal variations in intraocular pressure measurements and central corneal thickness and corneal hysteresis.
PURPOSE To examine the relationship between office-hour changes in IOP, measured with the Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) and dynamic contour tonometer (DCT), and the corneal characteristics central corneal thickness (CCT) and corneal hysteresis (CH). METHODS Sixty-two eyes of 62 untreated normal subjects and patients with untreated glaucoma had IOP measurements performed with the GAT (m...

purpose: to assess the agreement of ultrasonic pachymetry, the galilei dual scheimpflug analyzer and orbscan ii in measuring central corneal thickness (cct) in normal and keratoconic eyes. methods: in this prospective comparative study, cct was measured in 88 refractive surgery candidates and 76 (39 right) eyes of 45 keratoconic patients using ultrasonic pachymetry, galilei and orbscanii. readi...
متن کاملEffects of diabetic keratopathy on corneal optical density, central corneal thickness, and corneal endothelial cell counts
Diabetic keratopathy is an ocular complication that occurs with diabetes. In the present study, the effect of diabetic keratopathy on corneal optical density, central corneal thickness, and corneal endothelial cell count was investigated. One hundred and eighty diabetic patients (360 eyes) were enrolled in the study during the period from March, 2012 to March, 2013. The patients were divided in...
