Abstract:
Objective :To study the correlation between short stature and ocular biological parameters in children.
Methods :This study adopted a cross⁃sectional study. Eighty⁃two children (82 eyes) with height lower than the
tenth percentage and normal vision were selected as the short group. One hundred and thirty healthy children ( 130 eyes) with age and sex matching were served as the control group. Ocular biological parameters were measured for all subjects , including visual acuity , axial length , corneal curvature , astigmatism , intraocular pressure , central corneal thickness , anterior chamber depth , lens thickness and the distance of whiteness to whiteness. Then axial length/corneal radius ratio was calculated. The differences in ocular biological parameters between the two groups and the correlation between height and parameters were analyzed.
Results:The measurement of ocular biological parameters showed that the axial length of the short group was lower than that of the control group , and the difference was statistically significant( t = - 3. 161 ,P = 0. 002) . Also there were significant differences in corneal curvature , anterior chamber depth between the two groups ( t = 2. 996 , - 2. 449, P < 0. 05) . The corneal curvature of the short group was greater than that of the control group , and the anterior chamber depth of the short group was smaller than that of the control group. There were no significant differences in other ocular biological parameters ( P >0. 05) .
Conclusion :There are differences between ocular biological parameters in short children and healthy children ,which suggests that on the one hand , parents should pay attention to the development of the eyes of their children as soon as possible ; On the other hand , there should be different screening standards for short children in eye screening. Moreover, more comprehensive studies need to be included to supplement this data in the future.
