Eyelid tension seems to be related to corneal astigmatism and to affect the ocular surface. The aim of this study is to determine the lower eyelid tension in young adults with a simple lid tensiometer.
A commercially available precision digital pressure gauge that was connected to a pressure-guided tube full of water with a sensor at its end being placed between the lower eyelid and ocular surface was used as the lid tensiometer to measure the lower eyelid pressure at the central lid in 8 male and 12 female subjects aged between 20 and 39 years with normal healthy eyes. Measurements were respectively performed by 2 operators under the same conditions to test possible interoperator variation.
The lower eyelid pressures of the 20 subjects measured by 2 operators at the central lid were 445.28 ± 121.17 and 458.65 ± 127.15 Pa, respectively. The test of interoperator variation demonstrated that there was good agreement between 2 operators (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.965, F = 56.09, P < 0.001).
Our simple lid tensiometer is a viable option for measuring eyelid pressure with good repeatability.
眼睑张力似乎与角膜散光有关,并影响眼表面。本研究旨在使用简单的眼睑张力计测量年轻成年人的下眼睑张力。
使用市售的精密数字压力计,该压力计通过充满水的压力引导管连接,其末端的传感器置于下眼睑和眼表面之间,用作眼睑张力计,以测量 8 名年龄在 20 至 39 岁之间的男性和 12 名女性正常健康眼的中央眼睑的下眼睑压力。由 2 名操作者在相同条件下分别进行测量,以测试可能的操作者间差异。
由 2 名操作者在中央眼睑测量的 20 名受试者的下眼睑压力分别为 445.28 ± 121.17 和 458.65 ± 127.15 Pa。操作者间差异的检验表明,2 名操作者之间具有良好的一致性(组内相关系数= 0.965,F = 56.09,P < 0.001)。
我们的简单眼睑张力计是一种可行的测量眼睑压力的方法,具有良好的可重复性。
