Abstract
This succinct article essentially makes one point: central corneal thickness is significantly greater in premature infants than in full-term infants. Several previous studies have identified the importance of corneal thickness as related to measurement of intraocular pressure. Thinner corneas tend to generate lower intraocular pressure readings, at least when measured by applanation tonometry. While it is known that corneas of full-term infants are thicker than in older children or adults, the results of ultrasound pachymetry in premature infant corneas have not been previously reported.
