Purpose:
|
to investigate the relation between IOP and Axial Length and Anterior chamber depth.
|
Methods:
|
This is a cross sectional study which is of stratified cluster sampling kind from Mashhad habitants in different parts. To gather data, we have used interview (filling questionnaires) and ophthalmic examinations including slit-lamp examinations and measurements of IOP and cup-disk ratio (CDR) were done by an ophthalmology resident whereas the measurements of Axial Length (AL) and Anterior Chamber depth (AC depth) were done by a trained optometrist.
|
Results:
|
The number of participants in this study was 4837 persons with the mean age of 31.6 years. This study indicates that with the decrease in AC depth, there was a significant increase in IOP while there is no such relation between IOP and AL
|
Conclusion:
|
Although the outcomes of this study were similar to most studies in this field, there are many other studies with different results. Moreover, to achieve more accurate results, regarding the probable ethnic differences on IOP, more studies seem to be necessary.
