Evaluation of lens clarity in children with atopic dermatitis: A densitometric analysis with Pentacam
Dermatologic Therapy Dec 18, 2020
Mavise Y, et al. - Researchers conducted the study for examining lens densitometry in children with atopic dermatitis (AD). Thirty-one pediatric patients (13 males, 18 females; mean age 12 ± 3 years) with AD and 20 healthy children (9 males, 11 females; mean age 12 ± 2 years), who were referred to the Istanbul Medipol Mega University Dermatology Clinic between December 2018 and May 2019 were included in this study to investigate ocular complications in AD. Patients receiving inhaler and systemic steroids have been removed from the study. Between the two groups, the mean values of best-corrected visual acuity, refractive error, and axial length were identical. In children with AD, the lens densitometry values for zone 1, zone 2, and zone 3, as well as the average lens densitometry measurements were found to be statistically significantly higher compared with the controls. This is the first study showing an increase in treatment‐independent lens densitometry in children with AD.
