Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric ophthalmology
  • Ocular imaging

Background:

  • Scleral thickness is a critical parameter in ocular development and disease.
  • Normative data for scleral thickness in early childhood is limited.
  • Understanding scleral development is essential for diagnosing and managing pediatric eye conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish normative data for scleral thickness in children aged 0-36 months.
  • To investigate variations in scleral thickness based on age, sex, and laterality.
  • To provide reference values for pediatric ophthalmological assessments.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective, single-center study including children under 36 months undergoing examination under anesthesia.
  • Scleral thickness measured using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM).

  • Overall scleral thickness (OST) analyzed for correlation with laterality, sex, and age groups.

    • Main Results:

    • Mean overall scleral thickness (OST) was 0.46 ± 0.06 mm, with no significant difference between right and left eyes.
    • Scleral thickness was uniform across all measured quadrants.
    • No significant variations in OST were found between sexes or across different age groups (0-12, 12-24, 24-36 months).

    Conclusions:

    • The study provides normative scleral thickness data for children up to 36 months.
    • Scleral thickness is consistent across quadrants, sexes, and age groups in this pediatric cohort.
    • These findings contribute valuable reference data for pediatric ophthalmology.
