[Acoustic studies of the sclera in progressive myopia in children and adolescents]. 1996

E S Avetisov, and F E Fridman, and E P Tarutta, and G V Kruzhkova, and N V Khodzhabekian

Acoustic density of the sclera (ADS) was examined using ultrasonic scanning device Ophthascan-B in 121 eyes of 91 patients aged 9 to 17 with progressive myopia of 3.5 to 14.0 diopters. ADS of the posterior pole and eyeball equator were measured separately. ADS in health was 47.6ë0.24 dB for the posterior pole and 46.0ë0.24 dB for the equator, in myopia 41.7ë0.26 and 38.8ë0.22 d, respectively. ADS in the eyes with myopia developing at school age was reliably higher than in cases with congenital and early acquired myopia. The lowest ADS values for both the posterior pole and equator were detected in patients with high early acquired myopia.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D009216 Myopia A refractive error in which rays of light entering the EYE parallel to the optic axis are brought to a focus in front of the RETINA when accommodation (ACCOMMODATION, OCULAR) is relaxed. This results from an overly curved CORNEA or from the eyeball being too long from front to back. It is also called nearsightedness. Nearsightedness,Myopias,Nearsightednesses
D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children

D012590 Sclera The white, opaque, fibrous, outer tunic of the eyeball, covering it entirely excepting the segment covered anteriorly by the cornea. It is essentially avascular but contains apertures for vessels, lymphatics, and nerves. It receives the tendons of insertion of the extraocular muscles and at the corneoscleral junction contains the CANAL OF SCHLEMM.

D014463 Ultrasonography The visualization of deep structures of the body by recording the reflections or echoes of ultrasonic pulses directed into the tissues. Use of ultrasound for imaging or diagnostic purposes employs frequencies ranging from 1.6 to 10 megahertz.

D018450 Disease Progression The worsening and general progression of a disease over time. This concept is most often used for chronic and incurable diseases where the stage of the disease is an important determinant of therapy and prognosis.
