Central Corneal Thickness: Important Considerate in Ophthalmic Clinic

Abstract

Results:The mean SE, KM and CCT of the patients under the study were (-) 0.47 ± 2.26,43.79 ± 1.18D and 528.41 ± 19.1µm. Mean CCT was higher in age group C (46 to 60 yrs) than other groups (p = 0.008) but no impact was found on increasing age after regression analysis. CCT was not affected by gender (p = 0.168). Mean CCT for Myopic was found to be 522.87±18.03µm which was lower compared to in Hypermetropic (536.39 ±17.753µm) (p = <0.001). There was a positive correlation between CCT and SE (r = 0.520, p = <0.001). However KM showed negative correlation with CCT (r = -0.288, p = <0.001). Conclusion:From above study we concluded that CCT was related to age, refractive status and keratometry but not to sex.
