Several studies have demonstrated that central corneal thickness (CCT) increases in pediatric eyes after cataract extraction with or without intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. This thickening has been hypothesized to be the result of endothelial dysfunction caused by direct trauma during surgery, toxic effects of irrigating fluids, or postoperative inflammation. Limited literature is available regarding the preoperative profile of CCT in pediatric cataract eyes. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the differences in the mean preoperative CCT in eyes with pediatric cataract related to the presence or absence of persistent fetal vasculature.
几项研究表明，儿童白内障摘除术后，无论是否植入人工晶状体（IOL），中央角膜厚度（CCT）都会增加。这种增厚被认为是手术过程中直接创伤引起的内皮功能障碍、灌洗液的毒性作用或术后炎症的结果。关于儿童白内障眼中 CCT 的术前特征，相关文献有限。本研究的目的是评估与持续性胎儿血管有关的儿童白内障眼中 CCT 的平均术前差异。
