| description | Pur po se: To evaluate the effects of endogenous gonadotropic hormones (follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone) and sex
steroids (progesterone, estrogen) to anterior segment parameters.
Ma te ri al and Met hod: Thirty healthy females who had a menstrual cycle of 28±1 day and with a mean age of 36.5±7.56 (range,
20 – 46) years were included in the study. Starting from the first day of their cycle, Pentacam Scheimpflug camera measurements were
performed on the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 12th, 16th, 21st, 26th, and 28th days. The central corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth, anterior
segment volume, keratometric values, anterior chamber angle value, and pupilla diameter of both eyes were evaluated. Repeated
measures analysis of variance test was used for statistical analysis.
Re sults: No difference that reaches statistical significance was found in the means of central corneal thickness, anterior chamber volume,
keratometric values, anterior chamber angle, and pupilla diameter between the days. Mean anterior chamber depth measurement of the right
eyes on the 1st day was 2.72±0.44 mm, whereas it was 2.77±0.46 mm on the 26th day. Mean anterior chamber depth measurement of the
left eyes on the 1st day was 2.74±0.42 mm, whereas it was 2.80±0.43 mm on the 26th day. This increment of anterior chamber depth value
from the 1st to the 26th days was found to be statistically significant (p≤0.05).
Dis cus si on: Progesterone and estrogen that rise in the second half of the menstrual cycle might have a deepening effect on the anterior
chamber. These findings should be further investigated with more profound studies that also evaluate the hormonal values and their
correlations with anterior segment parameters. (Turk J Ophthalmol 2013; 43: 15-8) |
