Implantation of a small aperture corneal inlay improved uncorrected near visual acuity while maintaining uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity in monofocal patients with pseudophakia.
Purpose: To estimate the corneal measurements using Scheimpflug camera in patients with diabetes mellitus.Methods: Twenty five diabetic patients were prospectively recruited. Two groups were stratified, diabetic group and control group. Central corneal thickness (CCT), keratometry values (Kmean and Kmax), corneal volume (CV), anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber volume (ACV), Qvalue, frontal and back elevation, and the parameters of corneal variance indices, including minimum radius (Rmin) were measured using Pentacam Scheimpflug camera. Endothelial cell density (ECD) was also recorded. Findings were evaluated and compared between the 2 groups.Results: Two groups were found to have different Kmax (P = 0.03, one-tailed) and Rmin (P = 0.04, one-tailed) parameters. There was no statistical significant difference between the 2 groups in CCT, Kmean, CV, ACD, ACV, frontal/back elevation, Qvalue, ECD, and parameters of corneal variance indices.Conclusions: Diabetes mellitus affects keratometry and radius values of the human cornea based on the corneal measurements from Scheimpflug camera.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
