Abstract

In this study we investigated the correlation between central corneal thickness and intraocular pressure, axial length, and mean deviation and pattern standard deviation values of visual field indices in patients with ocular hypertension. The patients with ocular hypertension were selected by a single physician among the patients admitted to the Ophthalmology Unit of Middle East Technical University Health Center for routine eye examination during 2008. Ninety eyes of 90 patients randomly selected were included in this study according to the Helsinki Declaration and Ethics Criteria of the Middle East Technical University. Routine eye examination, measurements of the central corneal thickness and axial length, and visual field test were applied to the subjects. Mean deviation and pattern standard deviation values of visual field indices were used in the analysis. Statistically significant correlations were found between central corneal thickness and intraocular pressure (p=0.005), mean deviation (p=0.03) and axial length (p=0.03). Central corneal thickness, intraocular pressure, axial length and mean deviation value of visual field indices are significant parameters to be used in the follow-up of patients with ocular hypertension.

Özet

Bu çalışmada oküler hipertansiyon tanısı alan olgularda merkezi kornea kalınlığı ile göz içi basıncı, aksiyal uzunluk ve görme alanı endeksleri ortalama sapma, pattern standart sapma değerleri arasındaki korelasyon varlığını araştırdık. Oküler hipertansiyonlu olgular Ortadoğu Teknik Üniversitesi Sağlık Merkezi Göz Hastalıkları birimine 2008 yılı içinde rutin göz muayenesi nedeniyle başvuran hastalar arasından tek hekim tarafından seçilmiştir. Doksan hastanın randomize olarak seçilen 90 gözü Helsinki Deklarasyonuna ve ODTÜ Etik Kurul Kriterlerine uygun olarak çalışma kapsamına alınmıştır. Hastalara rutin göz muayenesi ile birlikte merkezi kornea kalınlığı, aksiyal uzunluk ölçümleri ve görme alanı testi uygulanmıştır. Görme alanı endeksleri, ortalama sapma ve pattern standart sapma değerlendirmede kullanılmıştır. Çalışmamızda oküler hipertansiyon tanısı alan olguların merkezi kornea kalınlığı ile göz içi basıncı (p=0.005), ortalama sapma (p=0.03) ve aksiyal uzunluk (p=0.03) değerleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı korelasyon saptanmıştır. Oküler hipertansiyon tanısı alan olguların klinik izlemlerinde merkezi kornea kalınlığı, göz içi basıncı, aksiyal uzunluk ve görme alanı endeksi ortalama sapması kullanılması gereken önemli parametreler arasındadır.
