Assessment of Tear Meniscus Dimensions Using Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography in Vitamin D Deficiency in a Pediatric Population

Abstract: Background: To investigate of the effect of vitamin D (Vit-D) deficiency on the tear film in children and compare it with that of healthy subjects. Methods: This prospective and cross-sectional study comprised 75 eyes of children who had Vit-D deficiency (Group 1) and 85 eyes of age- and gender-matched healthy children (Group 2). The tear-film break-up time (TF-BUT) and Schirmer test values, as well as the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) scores were recorded for the participants in all of the groups. Measu… Show more

“…The pathophysiology of DES is multifactorial and Vitamin D deficiency is thought to be associated with DES, but little is known about this in children [4]. To investigate the relationship between tear production and Vitamin D in the serum, Oren et al [5] studied 75 children (mean 12.42 ± 3.40 years) with known Vitamin D deficiency (Group 1) and compared them with 85 ageand gender-matched healthy children (Group 2, 12.59 ± 2.32 years) in a prospective, cross-sectional study. They report significantly reduced tear meniscus height (TMH), tear meniscus area (TMA) and Schirmer test values in children with Vitamin D deficiency (mean serum Vitamin D level 10.86 ± 5.11 ng/mL) com-pared with non-Vitamin D deficient children (mean serum Vitamin D level 37.44 ± 7.66 ng/mL).…”
