Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the ocular biometry parameters of pterygium patients compared to the general population.

Methods: This was a retrospective, cross-sectional study in one academic medical center. Biometric data was obtained using the IOLMaster700 © during routine visits over 6 years. Patients who underwent pterygium excision were enrolled in the pterygium group (prior to surgery), while all other patients were enrolled in the control group. Biometrical parameters were compared between groups.

Results: Patients with pterygium demonstrated significantly shorter axial lengths (23.21mm vs. 23.69mm, P<0.001), higher corneal astigmatism (3.801±2.308 vs. 1.165±1.1687, P<0.001) with correspondingly flatter K1 (41.795±2.972 vs. 43.494±1.848 P<0.05) and steeper K2 (45.596±2.123 vs. 44.66±2.039 P<0.05), shallower anterior chambers (3.06±0.499 vs. 3.286±0.656 P<0.05), and shallower aqueous depth (2.53±0.506 vs. 2.755±0.655 P<0.05).

Conclusions: Patients with pterygium have shorter axial lengths, higher magnitude of corneal astigmatism and shallower anterior chambers as compared to the general population. However, they have similar values for lens thickness, central corneal thickness, pupil diameter, and white-to-white measurements. Surgeons may wish to consider these variations in the preoperative evaluation of pterygium patients who are candidates for phacoemulsification surgery.

翼状胬肉患者与普通人群的生物特征比较。

目的：比较翼状胬肉患者与普通人群的眼部生物测量参数。方法：这是一项在一个学术医学中心进行的回顾性横断面研究。在6年的常规访问期间，使用IOLMaster700©获得生物特征数据。接受翼状胬肉切除术的患者被纳入翼状胬肉组（术前），而所有其他患者被纳入对照组。比较各组生物特征参数。结论：与普通人群相比，翼状胬肉患者的眼轴长度较短（23.21mm vs. 23.69mm），散光程度较高，前房较浅。然而，它们在晶状体厚度、角膜中央厚度、瞳孔直径和白对白测量值上有相似的值。外科医生可能希望考虑这些变化在术前评估翼状胬肉患者谁是超声乳化手术的候选人。

期刊介绍： The Journal français d''ophtalmologie, official publication of the French Society of Ophthalmology, serves the French Speaking Community by publishing excellent research articles, communications of the French Society of Ophthalmology, in-depth reviews, position papers, letters received by the editor and a rich image bank in each issue. The scientific quality is guaranteed through unbiased peer-review, and the journal is member of the Committee of Publication Ethics (COPE). The editors strongly discourage editorial misconduct and in particular if duplicative text from published sources is identified without proper citation, the submission will not be considered for peer review and returned to the authors or immediately rejected.
