Our aim was to investigate the impact of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis on corneal and lenticular optical densitometry, pachymetry and anterior chamber depth in children.
Fifty-four patients who had allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (study group) and 54 age-matched healthy children (control group) were recruited in this cross-sectional and comparative study. Corneal and lenticular optical densitometry, pachymetry, corneal volume and anterior chamber depth measurements were taken with the Scheimpflug imaging system.
The lens density and anterior chamber depth were similar between the groups (p > 0.05), while corneal density and thickness were significantly higher in the study group (p < 0.05). Although the corneal volume was higher in children with allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.07).
The cornea is affected in allergic rhinoconjunctivitis in respect to optical density and thickness, while the anterior chamber and lens are not influenced.
我们的目的是研究变应性鼻结膜炎对儿童角膜和晶状体光学密度、角膜厚度测量及前房深度的影响。
在这项横断面比较研究中，招募了54例患有变应性鼻结膜炎的患者（研究组）和54例年龄匹配的健康儿童（对照组）。使用眼前节分析系统进行角膜和晶状体光学密度、角膜厚度测量、角膜容积及前房深度测量。
两组之间晶状体密度和前房深度相似（p>0.05），而研究组的角膜密度和厚度显著更高（p<0.05）。虽然变应性鼻结膜炎患儿的角膜容积更高，但差异无统计学意义（p=0.07）。
变应性鼻结膜炎在光学密度和厚度方面会影响角膜，而前房和晶状体不受影响。
