“…2005). During the last two decades, there has been an increasing focus on possible gender differences in ophthalmological research and demonstrating important differences; these issues have also been discussed in Acta (Midelfart 1996). Previous studies analysing, for instance, keratoconus, dry eyes and age‐related macular degeneration (ARMD) have reported differences in incidence and prevalence of various disorders and different treatment results between men and women (McCarty et al.…”

ABSTRACT.Purpose: A prospective, longitudinal, population-based cohort study was performed to analyse gender-related differences in subjective and objective visual function 5 years after cataract surgery. Methods: All patients (n = 810) who underwent cataract surgery during a 1-year period at Norrlands University Hospital in Umea˚, Sweden, were studied with visual acuity (VA) data and questionnaires (VF-14) before and after surgery, as well as 5 years later. Five hundred and thirty patients (177 men, 353 women) answered the questionnaire, constituting 90% (530 ⁄ 590) of the survivors. Four hundred and sixty-seven (156 men, 311 women) also underwent an eye examination. Results: The women were significantly older (P = 0.009) and were more often operated on both eyes (P = 0.005). Before surgery and postoperatively, the women had a significantly lower age-and VA-adjusted VF-14 score (P = 0.000 and P = 0.036, respectively). This difference was not significant 5 years after surgery (P = 0.16). Five years after surgery, a significantly larger proportion of women had a decline of more than 0.1 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution of the better-seeing eye (P = 0.013). There were no significant gender-related differences in the operated eye. Conclusion: Female cataract surgery patients assess their visual function worse than males after adjustment for age and VA preoperatively and postoperatively. These differences were not significant 5 years after surgery although the men had better best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of their better eye. It is important to be aware of gender-related differences in perception when performing questionnaire-based outcome studies.

“…Estudos demonstraram que o aumento da miopia nesses olhos é devido ao aumento do comprimento axial (16) . Estudos comparativos dos parâmetros biométricos do olho de ambos gêneros mostraram que o olho masculino é 0,4 a 0,8 mm maior que o feminino (17,18) . A diferença entre os gêneros é atribuída à profundidade da cavidade vítrea (17,19,20) .…”

Artigo Original | Original article INTRODUÇÃOA miopia simples, a congênita e a miopia degenerativa são condições distintas. A miopia simples é geralmente uma variação normal no erro refrativo. A miopia congênita tende a ser estacionária e não progressiva. A miopia degenerativa (erro refracional maior que -6,00 D) é caracterizada por um aumento do comprimento axial (maior que 26 mm), associado à degeneração progressiva da coroide no polo posterior (1) . O comprimento axial do globo ocular em olhos emétropes nos indivíduos adultos varia de 22,0 mm a 24,5 mm podendo haver uma pequena diferença na medida entre os olhos de um mesmo indiví-duo. Em crianças normais (2,3) , observou-se que o comprimento axial varia de acordo com a faixa etária: entre zero e cinco dias de vida, uma variação de 16,40 mm a 16,78 mm; aos 6 meses, entre 18,00 mm a 18,49 mm; aos 9 meses, de 19,00 mm a 19,49 mm; de 4 a 7 anos, de 21,03 mm a 22,09 mm; e de 8 a 10 anos, de 22,09 mm a 22,50 mm. RESUMOObjetivo: Determinar se o crescimento do globo ocular mensurado através da biometria óptica e ultrassônica em uma população pediátrica de altos míopes é significante, assim como variação significante da espessura do cristalino, profundidade da câmara anterior, curvatura corneana e achados fundoscópicos durante o acompanhamento. Métodos: Uma população pediátrica (idade média: 8,7anos), 11 olhos de crianças portadoras de alta miopia (refração média inicial: -11,28D) foi submetida a avaliação seriada num período de nove meses incluindo-se biometria óptica (IOLMaster, Zeiss) e ultrassônica (Ultrascan, Alcon; técnica de contato), refratometria estática, oftalmoscopia indireta e retinografia. Resultados: No período de nove meses, o crescimento do olho foi estatisticamente significante em 64% (7 olhos) e não ocorreu em 36% (3 olhos), com modificação do comprimento axial médio (pré=26,76 mm; final=26,98 mm). Neste período, o equivalente esférico refracional aumentou em 45% (5 olhos), não apresentou variação em 27% (3 olhos), com modificação da refração média (pré=-11,28 D; final=-11,69 D). Não houve variação estatisticamente significante da espessura do cristalino, profundidade da câmara anterior, curvatura corneana e do aspecto fundoscópico. Conclusão: No grupo de crianças com alta miopia acompanhadas num período de nove meses, demonstrou-se o crescimento do globo ocular com variação do com primento axial tanto pela técnica de biometria óptica quanto ultrassônica, e com aumento da refratometria média. Outros parâmetros estudados como espessura do cristalino, profundidade da câmara anterior e curvatura da córnea não demonstraram variação no período de tempo do estudo. Os achados na literatura divergem quanto às medidas de comprimento axial pelos métodos óptico e ultrassônico. As medidas obtidas com o biômetro ultrassônico pelos métodos de contato e de imersão e pelo biômetro óptico foram concordantes nos parâmetros analisados (4,5) para alguns autores. Entretanto, para outros, quando se comparou o comprimento axial do globo ocular determinado pelo método da ...

“…[578910] The reasons for this include females’ shorter stature and possibly underlying genetic difference. [11] Several population-based studies have shown that sex is independently associated with ACD after the adjustment for body height (BH) in multivariate linear regression. [7101213] However, additional factors for adjustment varied in these studies, which could possibly affect the results of regression analysis.…”

Aim of Study:To analyze the association between anterior chamber depth (ACD) and age, sex, and body height (BH).Materials and Methods:One thousand four hundred eighty eyes of 1480 adults 40 years of age and older receiving preoperative evaluation for cataract surgery were recruited consecutively from June 1, 2006, to December 31, 2010. ACD was measured with the Zeiss IOLMaster. Univariate and multivariate linear regression models were used to analyze the correlations, and receiving operator characteristic (ROC) curves and the area under the curve (AUC) were used for evaluating the predictability of an ACD less than 2.70 mm.Results:ACD was negatively correlated with age and positively correlated with BH in both univariate and multivariate regression analysis (P < 0.001). Sex was associated with ACD in univariate analysis, but not after adjustment with age and BH. In predicting an ACD less than 2.70 mm, the AUCs of ROC curves for ‘age and sex’, ‘age and BH’, and ‘age, sex, and BH’ were 0.687, 0.689, and 0.689, respectively.Conclusion:Age and BH were independent associating factors of ACD; however, sex was not. Older people and shorter ones likely had shallower ACD, and therefore were predisposed to Primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG). The predictability of ACD by age and BH solely was low, and adding sex did not increase it.
