研究目的
To evaluate the efficacy of anterior segment swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) for examining horizontal extraocular muscle thickness, distance from the corneal limbus to the insertion of the horizontal extraocular muscle (limbus to insertion distance), and scleral thickness in Korean pediatric strabismus patients.
研究成果
Anterior segment SS-OCT can successfully and comfortably measure horizontal extraocular muscle and scleral anatomy in children. These measurements may be helpful for treatment and follow-up of pediatric strabismus patients.
研究不足
1. The design was retrospective, and reproducibility could not be evaluated. 2. The relatively small sample size made it difficult to obtain statistically significant results. 3. Poor imaging in uncooperative subjects made it difficult to identify muscle insertion sites and anatomical structures. 4. Thickness of the sclera was measured at a single location, limiting certainty regarding representation of overall scleral thickness. 5. All distances were manually measured by a single tester, introducing potential measurement error.
