CENTRAL CORNEAL THICKNESS IN NEWBORNS AND CHILDREN

Acta Ophthalmologica, 1976
Central corneal thickness was measured optically in premature and full‐term babies, and in children. The thickness was found to decrease from the values found in premature and full‐term babies to those found in small children aged between 2–4 years. The thickness of the adult cornea is reached at the age of about 3 years.These findings are discussed ...

The central corneal thickness in keratoconjunctivitis sicca

Acta Ophthalmologica, 1992
Abstract The central corneal thickness of 17 patients with keratoconjunctivitis sicca was compared with the thickness recorded in a control group of 105 subjects with healthy eyes. A moderate, but highly statistically significant central corneal thinning was found in the keratoconjunctivitis sicca group. The possible etiology and clinical importance of

Central corneal thickness in glaucoma

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2017
The purpose of this review is to summarize the role of central corneal thickness (CCT) in the clinical management of a glaucoma patient.The prognostic value of CCT is well recognized in patients with ocular hypertension. However, its predictive value in other glaucoma suspects and patients with established glaucoma is less certain.

CENTRAL THICKNESS IN CORNEAL DISORDERS

Acta Ophthalmologica, 1978
In the single individual the central corneal thickness (CCT) shows only small variations. Therefore CCT has been studied in a number of corneal diseases in order to investigate if this dimension might contribute to the diagnosis or to the understanding of the pathogenesis.Normal CCT was found in hereditary dystrophies with the exception of the macular ...

The genetics of central corneal thickness

British Journal of Ophthalmology, 2009
Evidence in the recent literature has highlighted the importance of central corneal thickness (CCT) in relation to several ocular and non-ocular conditions. Most notably, thinner CCT has been identified as a risk factor for open-angle glaucoma. Despite having an extensive knowledge of the structure and function of the cornea, little is known about the ...

Effect of Corneal Drying on Central Corneal Thickness

Journal of Glaucoma, 2004
To determine the amount of corneal thinning induced by corneal drying, and to discuss its possible consequences on applanation pressure.Two sets of central corneal thickness measurement from 100 eyes of 100 patients were taken by ultrasonic pachymeter at time settings of 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 seconds. During the first set (group 1), patients were asked

Central corneal thickness in adult Chinese

Journal of Huazhong University of Science and Technology [Medical Sciences], 2006
The central corneal thickness (CCT) in age 48 years or less of Chinese was characterized and its relationship with gender, age, refraction and intraocular pressure (IOP) was investigated. Right eyes of 1669 participants were included in this study (880 men, 52.7% and 789 women, 47.3%). Mean age of the samples was 23.8 +/- 5.9 years.

Central Corneal Thickness in Childhood Cataract

Cornea, 2019
Purpose: We explored elevated central corneal thickness (CCT) in children with cataracts as possibly reflecting preexisting corneal malformation related to specific cataract morphology. Methods: All children consecutively seen during the study periods who had cataracts and corneal ...

Central corneal thickness in high myopia

Acta Ophthalmologica Scandinavica, 2005
Abstract.Purpose:  To examine if central corneal thickness (CCT) is different in emmetropia and high myopia. Methods:  57 emmetropic subjects (0 to  + 1.5 D) and 48 high myopes (all more than − 6 D in spherical equivalent refraction) were studied.

Effect of Timolol on Central Corneal Thickness

European Journal of Ophthalmology, 2013
Purpose Timolol is an effective and safe medication that is widely used in glaucoma treatment. Although it is known that it is quickly taken up by the cornea following topical administration and that the cornea exhibits β-adrenergic receptors, there are few studies available on the clinical impact of timolol on ...
