Increasing Prevalence and Severity of Conjunctivochalasis With Aging Detected by Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography
Purpose To evaluate the impact of aging on conjunctivochalasis in an objective manner using anterior segment optical coherence tomography. Design Prospective clinical trial. Methods Sixty eyes of 30 healthy volunteers (15 men, 15 women; age range, 24-75 years) without any ophthalmic diseases were recruited for the study. Subjects were organized into 3 sex-matched groups, each including 10 subjects according to their ages: 20-39 years (Group 1), 40-59 years (Group 2), 60-75 years (Group 3). Cross-sectional area of conjunctivochalasis was measured at 3 locations (temporal, central, and nasal) using Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography. Tear meniscus height was also measured in all ...
