Biometria ocular, erro refrativo e sua relação com a estatura, idade, sexo e escolaridade em adultos brasileiros

Abstract: Positive correlations were found between: axial length and height; anterior chamber and vitreous cavity depth with height; lens thickness with age; keratometry with height; and spherical equivalent with age. Negative correlations were found between: anterior chamber and vitreous cavity depth with age; spherical equivalent and years of formal education.

“…There is a very fast eye growth during the first 3 years of age, the rate growth then slows, and axial length reaches its adult size around 15 years of age (16,17) . The relationships between the biometric parameters were studied in normal adult eyes and showed: positive correlations between lens thickness and age, spherical equivalent and age, axial length and anterior chamber depth; negative correlations between anterior chamber depth and age, vitreous chamber depth and age, spherical equivalent and years of formal education (18) .…”

“…Os primeiros estudos biométricos oculares com o uso da ultrassonografia ocular foram realizados já na década de 1950 (MUNDT;HUGHES, 1956;OKSALA;LEHTINEN, 1957 . Outros estudos relacionaram comprimento axial ocular com peso e estatura de indivíduos adultos (WONG et al, 2001b;PEREIRA;ALLEMANN, 2007).…”

“…A diferença encontrada entre homens e mulheres pode estar relacionada à estatura dos indivíduos. Estudos sugerem que o comprimento axial maior apresentado por indivíduos do sexo masculino podem estar relacionados à maior estatura presente nos mesmos (WICKREMASINGHE et al, 2004;PEREIRA;ALLEMANN, 2007;WU et al, 2007;LEE et al, 2009;LIM et al, 2010). Wong et al (2001b) demonstraram que a cada 10 cm de diferença de altura entre indivíduos, o comprimento axial deve aumentar em 0,23 mm.…”
