Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between the central corneal thickness (CCT) and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in patients with ocular hypertension (OHT) and to compare with normal population. Material and Methods: 56 eyes of 32 patients with ocular hypertension (OHT), and 43 eyes of 22 subjects with intraocular pressure ≤22 mmHg participated to our study between August 2008 and April 2009. After full ophthalmologic examination, all patients underwent measurement of central corneal thickness (CCT) by ultrasonic pachymetry, and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness by optical coherence tomography (OCT). Both groups were classified into “central corneal thickness (CCT) ≤555μm" and “central corneal thickness (CCT) >588μm" subgroups. RNFL thickness was measured as average, superior average and inferior average and in microns for all eyes.Results: The mean age of the study group was 52.37±8.64 years. There was statistically no difference between the study and the control groups in age and gender (p>0.05). The CCT in patients with OHT was statistically higher than the control group (577.98±32.32 vs. 551.56±24.93; p

Özet

Amaç: Oküler hipertansiyon hastalarında santral kornea kalınlığı ve retina sinir lifi tabakası kalınlığı arasındaki ilişkinin incelenip normal olgularla karşılaştırılması. Gereç ve Yöntem: Ağustos 2008 – Nisan 2009 tarihleri arasında oküler hipertansiyonlu 32 hastanın 56 gözü, ve göz içi basınçları ≤22 mmHg olan 22 kişinin 43 gözü çalışma kapsamına alındı. Tüm kişilerin rutin oftalmolojik muayeneleri sonrası ultrasonik pakimetriyle santral kornea kalınlıkları (SKK) ve optik koherens tomografi (OKT) yöntemiyle retina sinir lifi tabakası (RSLT) kalınlıkları ölçüldü. Her iki grup kendi içerisinde “santral kornea kalınlığı 555 μm ve altında olanlar” (SKK ≤555 μm) ve “santral kornea kalınlığı 588 μm üstünde olanlar” (SKK >588 μm) şeklinde 2 alt gruba ayrıldı. Bütün gözler için RSLT kalınlıkları, mikron cinsinden ortalama kalınlık, superior ve inferior kadran sinir lifi tabakası kalınlıkları şeklinde saptandı.Sonuçlar: Çalışma grubunun ortalama yaşı 52,37±8,64 yıldı. Çalışma ve kontrol grubu arasında yaş ve cinsiyet açısından anlamlı fark saptanmadı (p>0,05). Oküler hipertansiyon (OHT) hastalarında ortalama santral kornea kalınlığı (SKK) 577,98±32,32 μm, kontrol grubunda ise 551,56±24,93 μm idi, ve aradaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı oranda yüksekti (p
