The cornea in young myopic adults

Abstract

Conclusion-Changes in the anterior segments as the eyeball elongates in myopia progression included flatter corneal curvature, decreased corneal thickness, as well as decreased endothelial density. These factors should be considered in refractive surgery. (Br J Ophthalmol 2001;85:916-920)

Corneal Biomechanical Properties in Varying Severities of Myopia

“…Comparison of other optical parameters of the eye, assessed in the present study showed no significant difference in the corneal curvature and thickness between the four groups suggesting that the key determinant of the refractive status in the different groups was AXL. Therefore, the current findings did not agree with previous reports that longer eyes have flatter and thinner corneas (Chang et al, 2001 ). On the other hand, when considering the possible correlation between biomechanics of the cornea and the globe, as well as the evidence of associated thinner sclera and choroidal structures in the larger eyes (Shen et al, 2016 ) it seems that the elongation of the eye may point to the presence of an abnormal biomechanical behavior of the globe without a clear cause-effect relationship between these factors (Song et al, 2008 ; Xu et al, 2010 ).…”

“…For example, in the study by Zheng et al, 10 CCT and gender were not significantly correlated in children, but the correlation was significant in adults. Our results for the correlation between the CCT and refraction are in agreement with the findings by Chang et al, 32 who also found that corneas were thinnest in their myopic group.…”

“…These compensatory changes can result in emmetropization. Our results are consistent with other studies that have found flatter corneas in myopia [ 24 , 35 ].…”
