To assess central corneal thickness (CCT) values in individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID).
The study group was made up of 25 participants with ID (mean age, 36.9 +/- 8.7 years). The control group was made up of 25 healthy individuals (mean age, 37.1 +/- 10.1 years) with normal intellectual capacity and without any systemic or intraocular pathology. CCT value was measured by ultrasound pachymetry. Ten consecutive measurements were made at the center of the cornea of each eye.
In the ID group, mean CCT value was 554.0 +/- 39.7 microm in the right eye and 556.8 +/- 38.7 microm in the left eye. In the control group, mean CCT value was 535.7 +/- 24.2 microm in the right eye and 536.5 +/- 24.8 microm in the left eye. CCT value in the ID group was significantly greater than in the control group for both right (P < 0.05) and left eyes (P < 0.02).
CCT should be kept in mind during measurements of intraocular pressure (IOP) in individuals with ID because their CCTs may be greater than those in the general population.
评估智障人士的中央角膜厚度(CCT)值。
研究组由25名智障参与者组成(平均年龄36.9±8.7岁)。对照组由25名智力正常、无任何全身或眼内病变的健康个体组成(平均年龄37.1±10.1岁)。采用超声角膜测厚法测量CCT值。对每只眼睛的角膜中央进行连续10次测量。
在智障组中,右眼平均CCT值为554.0±39.7微米,左眼为556.8±38.7微米。在对照组中,右眼平均CCT值为535.7±24.2微米,左眼为536.5±24.8微米。智障组右眼(P<0.05)和左眼(P<0.02)的CCT值均显著高于对照组。
在测量智障人士的眼压(IOP)时应考虑CCT,因为他们的CCT可能高于一般人群。
