Comparing Two Acromegalic Patients with Respect to Central Corneal Thickness, Intraocular Pressure, and Tear Insulin-Like Growth Factor Levels Before and After Treatment

Abstract

The aim of the study was to compare the central corneal thickness (CCT), intraocular pressure (IOP), and tear insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels of 2 patients with acromegaly before and after the surgical treatment of the disease. CCTs, IOP levels, and tear IGF-1 values showed a decrease after the treatment in 2 patients. As we found higher CCT, IOP, and tear IGF-1 levels in the active phase of the disease in two acromegaly patients, detailed information about the activity of the disease may be important before the examination of these patients. © 2015 Indian Journal of Ophthalmology | Published by Wolters Kluwer - Medknow.
