Variations in central corneal thickness during the menstrual cycle in women.

PURPOSE: We report changes in the central corneal thickness during various phases of the menstrual cycle. METHODS: We recruited 16 healthy women of reproductive age and measured the central corneal thickness at 3 points in their menstrual cycle, beginning on days 1 to 3 and again at ovulation and at the end of the cycle (days 27-32). Ovulation was determined with a test that determines the peak of luteinizing hormone in the urine. RESULTS: We found that the central cornea was thinnest at the beginning of the cycle (mean = 536 microm). Corneal thickness increased at ovulation (mean = 549 microm) and at the end of the cycle (mean = 559 microm). The difference in corneal thickness was statisti…

Central Corneal Thickness in patients with acromegaly

Introduction Acromegaly is hormonal disorder caused by excessive growth hormone (GH) by the pituitary gland, this results in anatomical changes in many organs and also in the eye and specially in cornea. Objective To perform a connection between the disease activity and the corneal changes Matériels et Méthodes In 28 patients with acromegaly and in 22 voluntary healthy the central corneal thickness (CCT) was measured by pachymeter. And the patients were divided in 2 groups: the first (“group A”) contains 13 cases with not controlled acromegaly; and the other one (“group B”) is related to 15 patients with controlled acromegaly Résultats Patients with acromegaly have a central corneal thickne…
