| Popis: | Purpose: To evaluate the intraocular pressure (IOP) and central corneal thickness (CCT) in premature low birth weight (LBW) infants and their correlation with gestational age (GA). Methods: IOP and CCT were measured in premature LBW infants (defined as a birth weight ≤ 1,500 g or birth GA ≤ 30 weeks) admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit at the University of Florida Division of Neonatology, UF Health Jacksonville. Results: Ninety eyes of 45 premature LBW infants with mean birth GA of 28.2 ± 2.3 weeks and mean birth weight of 1,131.5 ± 380.1 g were evaluated. The mean IOP and CCT were 29.0 ± 9.0 mm Hg and 660.0 ± 65.0 µm, respectively. There was no correlation between the IOP and CCT ( r = 0.09; P = .38). There was a negative correlation between IOP and GA ( r = −0.41) and between CCT and GA ( r = −0.26). Conclusions: IOP is higher and CCT is thicker in premature infants compared to adults; however, there was no correlation between IOP and CCT.
