Diurnal Variation of Corneal Shape and Thickness

Diurnal variation of corneal sensitivity.

Diurnal variations in human corneal thickness.

AIM To elucidate the diurnal variation in human corneal thickness over a 48 hour period. METHOD Changes in central corneal thickness were monitored in eight healthy subjects (four male, four female) aged between 10 and 63 years using an ultrasonic pachymeter. Measurements were made over a 48 hour period-immediately before sleep, immediately upon waking and at 15, 30, 45 minutes, 1, 1.5, 2, 2....

[Diurnal variations of central and paracentral corneal thickness and curvature].

OBJECTIVE Corneal topography and thickness has clinical importance in contact lens fitting and refractive surgery, however repeated measurement of corneal thickness and curvature is complicated by the natural phenomenon of diurnal variation. Our aim was determine diurnal variations of central and paracentral corneal thickness and curvature over a period of ten hours. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cor...

Diurnal Variation in Distal Femoral Cartilage Thickness.

The 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...
