Scaling and maintenance of corneal thickness during aging
Corneal thickness is tightly regulated by its boundary endothelial and epithelial layers. The regulated set-point of corneal thickness likely shows inter-individual variations, changes by age, and response to stress. Using anterior segment-optical coherence tomography, we measure murine central corneal thickness and report on body size scaling of murine central corneal thickness during aging. F...
متن کاملCorneal thickness, astigmatism, and atopy.
Keratometry and regional pachometry were performed on atopic patients with no history or signs of atopic keratoconjunctivitis. In a series of 80 eyes there was a skewed distribution towards thinner corneas (p less than 0.01) and a preponderance of against-the-rule astigmatism. The maternal age at birth of this group of patients was higher than that in the general population. These findings are ...
متن کاملMetabolic syndrome, hormones, and maintenance of T cells during aging.
Although the phenotype of T-cell senescence has been extensively investigated, few studies have analyzed the factors that promote the generation and maintenance of naïve and memory T cells that exist throughout the lifespan of the individuals. Unlike senescent T cells, naïve and memory T cells are able to participate in useful immune responses as well as respond to new activation. Hormones such...
متن کاملVariations in corneal biomechanical parameters and central corneal thickness during the menstrual cycle.
PURPOSE To assess variations in the biomechanical properties and central corneal thickness (CCT) throughout the female menstrual cycle. SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, Assaf Harofeh Medical Center, Zerifin Israel. DESIGN Case series. METHODS Young healthy women were prospectively recruited. Every participant was assessed at the beginning of the menstrual cycle, at ovulation, and at t...
متن کاملComparison of Central Corneal Thickness Measured through Pentacam, OCTCasia2, and Orbscan IIz in Normal Individuals
Purpose: To compare the central corneal thickness measured through Pentacam, OCTCasia2, and Orbscan IIz in normal individuals. Methods: In this cross sectional comparative study, the researcher investigated the eyes of 70 normal candidates (140 eyes) with the mean age of 31.42 ± 7.70, referring to Dr. Sedaghat eye clinic for refractive surgery. For each person, Central Corneal Thickness (CCT) w...
