Relationship of Age and keratometry readings of the cornea to Central Corneal Thickness among 98 patients performing refractive surgery in Ibsar center for refractive surgery

Abstract

This study is involved in viewing the relationship between the age and keratometry readings of cornea with the central corneal thickness among 98 patients performing refractive surgery in Ibsar center for refractive surgery in Najaf between the period This study was performed in Ibsar center for refractive surgery in Najaf from November 10 , 2013, to April 20, 2014 for patients who underwent refractive surgery for one or both eyes, no abnormality or any disease were found in the examined eyes apart the refractive error that they come for correction.The CCT of patients was measured using the Scheimpflug HR imaging system (Pentacam),98 patients were taken 40 males and 58 females Age between 18 to 61 years There is no significant difference between K1 and K2 of the right eye and also no significant difference between K1 and K2 of the left eye there is high significant difference between K 1 and K2 readings for that of females from that of males.There is no significant difference between age with any of the variables K1,K2 right eye and K1 , K2 left eyeThere is no significant difference between age and the CCT of the right eyes and the left eyesNo significant difference between the CCT of the right eye from that of the left eye
