ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Recent epidemiological studies have shown that general eye measurement parameters and corneal biomechanical properties can predict the speed of myopic progression in children.AIM:
To investigate the correlation between the onset and progression of myopia and corneal biomechanical parameters in children.METHODS:
The study included 102 cases in the emmetropia group, 207 cases in the myopic group, and 109 cases in the hyperopic group. The correlation between the change in corneal biomechanical indexes and the change in general ocular measurement parameters was analyzed. A one-way ANOVA test compared general ocular measurement and corneal biomechanical parameters. Pearson's correlation coefficient was analyzed to correlate corneal biomechanical and general ocular measurement parameters.RESULTS:
The general ophthalmometric parameters Spherical equivalent (SE), intraocular pressure (IOP), and axial length (AL), differed significantly among subjects in myopia, emmetropia, and hyperopic groups. Children's SE positively correlated with corneal biomechanical parameters Second velocity of applanation (A2V), peak distance (PD), and deformation amplitude (DA) (P < 0.05), and second applanation length (A2L) (P < 0.05). But it was negatively correlated with PD, DA and integral radius (IR) (P < 0.05). Also, IOP was negatively correlated with A2L and IR (P < 0.05). AL positively correlated with A2V and negatively correlated with second applanation time (A2T), highest concavity, and PD. Central corneal thickness positively correlated with first applanation length, first applanation time, first applanation deformation amplitude, A2V, A2L, A2T, second applanation deformation amplitude, central curvature radius at highest concavity (HCR), PD, DA, IR, ambrosia relational thickness-horizontal, first applanation stiffness parameter, corvis biomechanical index, topographic and biomechanics index and the first velocity of applanation. The general ocular Km in children positively correlated with corneal biomechanical parameters DA and IR and negatively correlated with A2L, HCR, and PD. There was a positive correlation between the general ocular measurement parameters ΔSE and corneal biomechanical parameters ΔA2V and ΔA2L, and a negative correlation with ΔIR. The increase in general ocular measurement parameter ΔKm positively correlated with changes in corneal biomechanical parameters, ΔDA and ΔIR, and negatively correlated with ΔHCR and ΔPD.CONCLUSION:
Myopia development in children was associated with multiple corneal biomechanical parameters.
