Journal Title: Indian journal of applied basic medical sciences - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 31
Abstract
Back ground and Objective Myopia is one of the commonest ocular disorders. Some studies reported that the mean IOP value of myopes was significantly higher than that of emmetropes. So in this study we aimed to evaluate the relationship between intraocular pressure and myopia in different age groups. Material and Method:An observational study carried out at department ofPhysiology and M & J Institute of Ophthalmology, B J Medical College, Ahmedabad during July 2017 to August 2017.100 subjects with myopia were included in this study. The investigator visited the out-patient department (OPD) of ophthalmology and newly diagnosed patients of myopia were enrolled for the study. After general examination power of eye (D) and intra-ocular pressure by Perkin’s applanation tonometer were noted. Correlation between power of eye and IOP was established in different age groups . IOP was also correlated to different grades of myopia. Results: In our study intraocular pressure remained normal in all the three grades of myopia in both the eyes. Intra ocular pressure remain within normal limits (14 to 20 mm of Hg) in the myopes of all the ages although it tends to be higher in the younger age group ie Group A (11 – 30 years).Conclusion:This IOP elevation in younger myopes could be attributed to myopia progression. Key Words: Intraocular pressure, myopia
