Central corneal thickness and corneal diameter in premature infants [PDF]
Journal of American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, 2005 Abstract.Background: Central corneal thickness is significantly greater in full‐term infants than in adults. Very little is known about corneal thickness in premature infants. Methods: Measurements of central corneal thickness and horizontal corneal diameter were carried out in 35 premature babies (70 eyes) undergoing screening for retinopathy of ...
