Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 5
Abstract
Aim: To compare the central corneal thickness inindividuals with and without pseudo exfoliation syndrome. Methods: This was a hospital based cross sectional, comparative study. 50 individuals with unilateral or bilateral pseudo exfoliation syndrome (study group) and individuals without pseudo exfoliation syndrome (control group), both without any corneal pathology and glaucoma were included in the study. The CCT was measured by an ultrasonic pachymeter. The IOP was measured by Goldmannapplanation tonometer and was adjusted for the CCT values.Results: There was no significant correlation between CCT and age. The mean CCT was 0.515± 0.07 mm in the control group and 0.501 mm + 0.07 mm in study group (P value=0.001). The mean IOP was almost similar in both groups. However, the IOP after CCT adjustment was significantly higher in the study group than the control group. Conclusion: The mean CCT was significantly lower in the individuals with pseudoexfoliation than in individuals without pseudo exfoliation. There was no significant difference in the CCT between the eye with PEXF and its fellow eye in unilateral pseudo exfoliation syndrome.
