Comparison between ocular biometry parameters in patients with unilateral congenital glaucoma
Purpose: To compare the axial length (AL) and corneal diameter between glaucomatous eye (GE) and fellow normal eye (NE) in patients with unilateral congenital glaucoma and to obtain a normative database for ocular growth among Indian children below 3 years of age. Methods: Retrospective longitudinal...

| description | Purpose: To compare the axial length (AL) and corneal diameter between glaucomatous eye (GE) and fellow normal eye (NE) in patients with unilateral congenital glaucoma and to obtain a normative database for ocular growth among Indian children below 3 years of age. Methods: Retrospective longitudinal study. Patients who had a follow-up of 3 years from diagnosis with ocular biometry parameters being recorded at least thrice (once a year) and fellow eye being normal were included. Data collected were age, gender, intraocular pressure (IOP), AL, corneal diameter, optic disc findings, diagnosis, and surgery details. Results: Eleven patients were analyzed. All GE underwent combined trabeculotomy with trabeculectomy. Mean (SD) baseline IOP, AL, and corneal diameter were 17.1 (6.7) mmHg, 18.9 (1.1) mm and 12 (0.91) mm in GE, and 11.1 (3.8) mmHg, 17.8 (0.44) mm, and 10.5 (0.58) mm in NE, respectively. Increase in AL was 3.1 mm in the first year followed by 0.6 mm in second year and 0.4 mm in third year in GE compared to 2.6, 0.6, and 0.5 mm in NE, respectively. Corneal diameter increased by 1.1 mm in GE in the first year and remained stable thereafter compared to 0.7 mm in first year followed by 0.3 mm in second year and stable thereafter in NE. The percentage of success was 73% at 3 years. Conclusion: Axial length and corneal diameter were higher in GE than NE at all-time points. With prompt intervention, the growth curve of the GE was made parallel to that of NE. |
