Evaluation of the Relationships Between Obesity and Central Retinal Thickness, Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer, Intraocular Pressure, and Central Corneal Thickness in Children
Abstract:Purpose:The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of childhood obesity on the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), retinal thickness, central corneal thickness and intraocular pressure.
Method:Children with obesity (n:24) (Group 1; n:48 eyes) and healthy children (n:23) (Group 2; n:46 eyes) were included in the study. Average RNFL thickness, central 1 mm diameter of foveal thickness (CFT) and subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) were measured using the fourier domain -optical coherence tomography (F… Show more
