Abstract
Purpose: To perform ophthalmic examinations to evaluate the ocular characteristics of children living in the Tibet plateau and diagnosed with congenital heart disease.
Methods: Children with congenital heart disease underwent a conventional ocular examination including distant acuity test, slit-lamp examination, fundus examination, non-contact intraocular pressure measurement, measurement of corneal thickness, and fundus photography.
Results: Forty-two Tibetan children, aged between 4 and 18 years and diagnosed with congenital heart disease, were enrolled in this study. The percentage of low visual acuity was 4.76%, mean intraocular pressure was (13.67 ± 2.15) mmHg, average corneal thickness was (492.55 ± 33.79) μm, 96.43% had an anterior chamber depth of 1/2 corneal thickness (CT), and 35.7% had an obvious fundus vascular tortuosity.
Conclusion: This study adds to the understanding of the ocular status of the population living in the Tibet plateau, thereby offering clinical evidence for the prevention and treatment of eye diseases in this area.
期刊介绍：
Eye science was founded in 1985. It is a national medical journal supervised by the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China, sponsored by Sun Yat-sen University, and hosted by Sun Yat-sen University Zhongshan Eye Center (in October 2020, it was changed from a quarterly to a monthly, with the publication number: ISSN: 1000-4432; CN: 44-1119/R). It is edited by Ge Jian, former dean of Sun Yat-sen University Zhongshan Eye Center, Liu Yizhi, director and dean of Sun Yat-sen University Zhongshan Eye Center, and Lin Haotian, deputy director of Sun Yat-sen University Zhongshan Eye Center, as executive editor. It mainly reports on new developments and trends in the field of ophthalmology at home and abroad, focusing on basic research in ophthalmology, clinical experience, and theoretical knowledge and technical operations related to epidemiology. It has been included in important databases at home and abroad, such as Chemical Abstract (CA), China Journal Full-text Database (CNKI), China Core Journals (Selection) Database (Wanfang), and Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP).
