Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the normal interocular symmetry limits and repeatability of central corneal thickness (CCT) and endothelial cell density in a diverse group of healthy participants aged 10.9 to 80.7 years.
- Two hundred seventy-eight subjects were analyzed using non-contact microscopy to gather measurements, finding that normal interocular differences for CCT were -1.05 µm and for endothelial cell density, 0.5 cells/mm, with specific statistical tolerances established.
- Results indicated good repeatability for both CCT and endothelial cell density, suggesting that differences exceeding 15.5 µm (CCT) and 182 cells/mm (CECD) could warrant further investigation in clinical settings.
Purpose: To determine the pachymetric and corneal endothelial cell morphometric features and their relationship to ocular and systemic factors in healthy Congolese subjects.
Methods: Non-contact specular microscopy was used in 278 healthy eyes (278 subjects) to measure central corneal thickness (CCT), corneal endothelial cell density (CECD) along with cell size, coefficient of variation (CV) in cell size, and hexagonality (HEX). The lower and upper reference limits and average values for each parameter were determined.
