RESUMEN

Objetivo:

caracterizar el espesor corneal central en pacientes con factores de riesgo de glaucoma crónico simple.

Métodos:

se realizó un estudio epidemiológico, observacional, descriptivo y longitudinal prospectivo, en el Servicio de Glaucoma del Hospital Dr Salvador Allende durante el año 2010. El universo estuvo constituido por 1 238 pacientes que acudieron a la consulta de oftalmología por síntomas astenópicos. La muestra, aplicados los criterios de inclusión y exclusión, quedó conformada por 656 pacientes con factores de riesgo de la enfermedad, de estos se desecharon 19 por una diferencia entre los ojos de 10 µm o más de espesor corneal. Las variables analizadas fueron espesor corneal, edad, sexo, color de la piel y presión intraocular...
ABSTRACT

Objective:

to characterize the central corneal thickness seen in patients with simple chronic glaucoma risk factors.

Methods:

a prospective longitudinal, descriptive, observational, and epidemiological study was conducted in the Glaucoma Service of Dr Salvador Allende hospital during 2010. The universe of study was made up of 1 238 patients that went to the ophthalmological service due to asthenopic symptoms. Taking the inclusion and exclusion criteria into account, the final sample was composed by 656 patients with glaucoma risk factors, 19 of whom were excluded because of 10 µm and over difference in the corneal thickness between the eyes. The analyzed variables were corneal thickness, age, sex, race and intraocular pressure...
