Anterior scleral thickness in myopic eyes and its association with ocular parameters
Ophthalmic Research Oct 23, 2020
Sung MS, Ji YS, Moon HS, et al. - In this cross-sectional study, researchers ascertained if the anterior scleral thickness is affected by axial elongation and explored the connection between anterior scleral thickness and various ocular parameters in myopic eyes. The sample consisted of 79 healthy myopic candidates. Using anterior segment optical coherence tomography, anterior scleral thickness was measured in eight meridians (superior-nasal [SN], superior [S], superior-temporal [ST], temporal [T], inferior-temporal [IT], inferior [I], inferior-nasal [IN], and nasal [N]). A close relationship was found between the anterior scleral thickness and several ocular parameters in myopic eyes. When handling myopia, these characteristics should be taken into account and the findings may have important consequences for understanding the pathogenesis of scleral changes during axial elongation.
