effects of chalazion on refractive error and corneal topography
purpose: to evaluate the effect of location and size of chalazia on refractive error, corneal topography and visual acuity. methods: this randomized non-controlled clinical trial was conducted on patients with chalazion aged more than 3 years with minimum duration of one month. all patients underwent chalazion excision by the internal or external approach. results: two-hundred and fifty-three e...
متن کاملRelationship between central corneal thickness, refractive error, corneal curvature, anterior chamber depth and axial length.
BACKGROUND To determine the relationship between central corneal thickness (CCT), refractive error, corneal curvature, anterior chamber depth and axial length in normal Taiwanese Chinese adults. METHODS Five hundred normal Taiwanese Chinese patients aged 40-80 years were recruited for the study. Measurement procedures included CCT, refractive error, corneal curvature, anterior chamber depth a...
متن کاملAggregation of refractive error and 5-year changes in refractive error among families in the Beaver Dam Eye Study.
OBJECTIVE To examine aggregation of refraction, myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, as well as the 5-year change in each of these measures, among adult family members. DESIGN Geographically defined, population-based cohort study in Beaver Dam, Wis. Participants were all 43 to 84 years of age in 1988. Family relationships among participants of the study were identified through interviews. The ...
متن کاملGenes and environment in refractive error: the twin eye study.
PURPOSE A classical twin study was performed to examine the relative importance of genes and environment in refractive error. METHODS Refractive error was examined in 226 monozygotic (MZ) and 280 dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs aged 49 to 79 years (mean age, 62.4 years). Using a Humphrey-670 automatic refractor, continuous measures of spherical equivalent, total astigmatism, and corneal astigmatism...
متن کاملRefractive error blindness.
Recent data suggest that a large number of people are blind in different parts of the world due to high refractive error because they are not using appropriate refractive correction. Refractive error as a cause of blindness has been recognized only recently with the increasing use of presenting visual acuity for defining blindness. In addition to blindness due to naturally occurring high refrac...
