To investigate ocular dimensions in African Americans with the long anterior zonule (LAZ) trait.
A total of 61 African American LAZ subjects and 61 age-matched, race-matched, and sex-matched controls were compared with respect to central corneal thickness, central corneal curvature, axial length (AL), and subjective refraction.
LAZ right eyes had a mean SR=+1.75±1.82 D and were 1.58 D (95% confidence interval, 0.83-2.31 D, P<0.0001) more hyperopic on average when compared with the control right eyes. LAZ right eyes also had an AL that was 0.69 mm (95% confidence interval, 0.34-1.04 mm, P<0.001) shorter on average than control right eyes. Similar results were found for left eyes. No differences were found with respect to central corneal curvature and central corneal thickness (P>0.05).
In this data set, LAZ eyes tended to be more hyperopic and had ALs that were shorter than control eyes, characteristics that are consistent with elevated risk for angle-closure glaucoma.
研究具有长前悬韧带(LAZ)特征的非裔美国人的眼球尺寸。
将 61 名 LAZ 特征的非裔美国人受试者和 61 名年龄、种族和性别匹配的对照者进行比较,比较指标包括中央角膜厚度、中央角膜曲率、眼轴(AL)和主观屈光度。
LAZ 右眼的平均 SR=+1.75±1.82 D,与对照组右眼相比,平均远视度高 1.58 D(95%置信区间,0.83-2.31 D,P<0.0001)。LAZ 右眼的 AL 平均比对照组右眼短 0.69 mm(95%置信区间,0.34-1.04 mm,P<0.001)。左眼也有类似的结果。在中央角膜曲率和中央角膜厚度方面没有差异(P>0.05)。
在这个数据集,LAZ 眼往往更远视,眼轴更短,这些特征与闭角型青光眼的风险升高一致。
