The CCTvalues were measured with ultrasound pachymetry and compared betweengroups.Results: Mean CCT was statistically significantly thinner in PES eyes(539.99±37.1 ?m) than in normal eyes (558.62±30.67 ?m) (p=0.0001).There was no statistically significant difference in mean CCT between thePES eyes with and without glaucoma (541.94±29.32 ?m, 538.23±39.03?m, respectively) (p=0.724).Conclusion: Thinner CCT in eyes with PES, as a result of artificially lowerintraocular pressure readings, may cause late diagnosis of glaucoma andrapid progression of the disease.

Abstract

Objective: We aimed to compare the central corneal thickness (CCT) measurementsof the cases with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES) and normalsubjects.Methods: Sixty eyes of 30 control cases and 58 eyes of PES patients withand without glaucoma were included in our prospective study. The CCTvalues were measured with ultrasound pachymetry and compared betweengroups.Results: Mean CCT was statistically significantly thinner in PES eyes(539.99±37.1 ?m) than in normal eyes (558.62±30.67 ?m) (p=0.0001).There was no statistically significant difference in mean CCT between thePES eyes with and without glaucoma (541.94±29.32 ?m, 538.23±39.03?m, respectively) (p=0.724).Conclusion: Thinner CCT in eyes with PES, as a result of artificially lowerintraocular pressure readings, may cause late diagnosis of glaucoma andrapid progression of the disease.

Özet

Amaç: Psödoeksfoliasyon sendromlu (PES) olguların santral kornea kalınlık(SKK) değerlerini normal bireylerle karşılaştırmayı amaçladık.Yöntemler: Glokomu olan ve olmayan PES'li 39 hastanın 58 gözü ile 30kontrol olgunun 60 gözü prospektif çalışmamız kapsamına alındı. SKKdeğerleri ultrasonik pakimetri cihazıyla ölçülerek gruplar arasında karşılaştırıldı.Bulgular: Psödoeksfoliasyon sendromlu gözlerin ortalama SKK'ları(539,99±37,1 ?m) normal gözlerden (558,62±30,67 ?m) istatistiksel olarakanlamlı derecede düşük bulunmuştur (p=0,0001). Glokomu olan veolmayan PES'li gözler arasında SKK ortalamaları açısından istatistiksel olarakanlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır (541,94±29,32 ?m, 538,23±39,03 ?msırasıyla) (p=0,724).Sonuç: Psödoeksfoliasyon sendromlu gözlerde SKK'nın daha ince olması,yapay düşük göz içi basıncı ölçüm sonucu olarak glokom tanısının gecikmesineve hastalığın hızlı progresyonuna neden olabilir.
