Abstract

Objective: It is aimed to determine whether fasting during Ramadan has any significant effect on anterior chamber parameters, visual acuity and intraocular pressures.

Methods: 31 fasting (Group 1) and 30 non-fasting healthy volunteers (Group 2) were enrolled. All cases underwent an ophthalmological examination and anterior segment parameter evaluation (central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber volume (ACV), anterior chamber angle (ACA), pupil size) with Pentacam before and after the breaking of the Ramadan fast in Group 1, before and after dinner in Group 2.

Results: The mean age was 43.35 ± 13.20 in Group 1, 43.17 ± 12.90 in Group 2 (p= 0.955). No significant difference was detected in any of the parameters in both groups.

Conclusion: There is a need for more detailed and associated studies to understand better about the influence of Ramadan fast on various ocular parameters.

斋月禁食对眼前段参数、视力和眼压的影响。

目的:探讨斋月禁食对前房参数、视力和眼压的影响。方法:选取31名空腹健康志愿者(第一组)和30名非空腹健康志愿者(第二组)。1组患者在斋月开斋前后、2组患者在晚餐前后分别应用Pentacam进行眼科检查和前节参数评价(角膜中央厚度(CCT)、前房深度(ACD)、前房容积(ACV)、前房角(ACA)、瞳孔大小)。结果:1组患者平均年龄43.35±13.20岁，2组患者平均年龄43.17±12.90岁(p= 0.955)。两组的各项参数均无显著差异。结论:需要进行更详细的相关研究，以更好地了解斋月禁食对各种眼部参数的影响。
