Propose: To determine and compare, the ciliary body thickness (CBT) of high
axial myopia and relatively emmetropic eyes.
Methods: Thirty eyes of 18 patients, [22 – 45] years of age, were recruited CBT
was measured from ultrasound biomicroscopy, at CBT1, CBT2 mm
posterior to sclera spare. Cycloplegic refractive error was measured
& axial length using ultrasound biometry was determined. Patients
were divided into two groups, group A (10 patients) of high myopic
eyes, group B (8 patients) of emmetropic eyes.
Results: Thicker measurements at CBT1 (P < 0.001) and CBT2 (P = 0.003) were
associated with increasingly myopic refractive errors and were
associated with longer axial lengths.
Conclusion : Thicker ciliary body measurements were associated with myopia
and a longer axial length. |
