Central Corneal Thickness in Myopia: A Cross-sectional Study
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to determine the relationship between central corneal thickness (CCT) and myopia. Meterials and Method: This is a institution-based cross-sectional study. CCT of 45 myopic patients was measured using ultrasound A-scan pachymeter. CCT was correlated with myopia using Karl Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Result: 45 patients were recruited for this study. Age of patients ranged from 18 to 75 years, with a mean of 46.50 years. Myopia ranged from −0.25d to −13.00d with a mean of 6.62D. The mean CCT was 543.54 microns. Pearson correlation coefficient was CCT and myopia: r = 0.0363, P = 0.734. Conclusion: There was no correlation between CCT and myopia. The process by which myopia progress does not influence CCT.
