Corneal thickness in children with growth hormone deficiency: The effect of GH treatment
2014, Growth Hormone and IGF ResearchCitation Excerpt :In normal children the average CCT was found to be ranging from 529 to 555 μm [24−26], with a close correlation with values reported for adults [26]. In addition, CCT values appear stable over time and show a positive correlation with IOP [27,28]. Most of the studies performed on patients with alterations of the GH-IGF-I axis were limited to assessing the differences in the ocular parameters between GH or IGF-I-treated patients, untreated ones, and controls, without a prospective evaluation during the follow-up of treatment.
Acquired central corneal thickness increase following removal of childhood cataracts
2011, American Journal of OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :While we did not confirm the same relationship in the present study, our current data were collected longitudinally and therefore compared CCT in each eye over a follow-up interval, while the previous small study used age as a surrogate for time since cataract removal. In addition, we had previously reported on the stability of CCT measurements in children aged 3 to 14 years over a 1- to 2-year period.14 On the other hand, the present study did find mean CCT in the aphakic and pseudophakic eyes with glaucoma to be significantly higher than mean CCT in the eyes without glaucoma, at both the initial and final measurements, suggesting that glaucoma accentuates the CCT elevation after cataract removal.

2007, American Journal of OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :Therefore, it is possible that the preponderance of White subjects in the cataract group established bias toward finding a difference in mean CCT between the cataract and normal control groups, and we found no difference. We previously reported that the CCT of unoperated pediatric eyes with and without glaucoma seems to be stable over time.19 The large difference in the CCT of aphakic and pseudophakic eyes vs normal eyes and phakic eyes with cataracts suggests that the increase in CCT (and therefore probably also in overall corneal thickness) likely occurs after surgery.
