Pregnancy-induced changes in corneal biomechanics and topography are thyroid hormone related
American Journal of Ophthalmology Oct 18, 2017
Tabibian D, et al. - This paper strived to recognize the biomechanical and topographical variations of the cornea during pregnancy and the postpartum period. This study also determined its connection with the hormonal changes. The findings displayed the potential of hormonal changes, influencing the corneal biomechanics and topography during pregnancy, appearing to be thyroid-related. Dysthyroidism could exert a direct effect on the corneal biomechanics. It reflected as a clinically relevant factor, warranting additional assessment.
