Abstract:
:Purpose/Aim: To assess the changes in anterior eye segment biometrics and intraocular pressure during and after wearing swimming goggles.Materials and methods: Anterior segment biometry and intraocular pressure were assessed in 20 healthy young adults (22.2 ± 4.7 years) during the wearing of a drilled swimming goggle. The central corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth, anterior chamber volume, and anterior chamber angle, using the Pentacam rotating Scheimpflug camera (Oculus Optikgerate GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany), and intraocular pressure, using a rebound tonometer, were obtained before, at 2, 3.5, and 5 min of wearing swimming goggle, just after removal, as well as after 5 min of recovery.Results: During swimming goggles wear, there was a significant corneal thinning (54.8 ± 41.1 µm, p < .001, ƞp2 = 0.532), iridocorneal angle reduction (2.6 ± 2.6 degrees, p < .001, ƞp2 = 0.241) and intraocular pressure elevation (4.0 ± 1.9 mmHg, p < .001, ƞp2 = 0.530). These changes returned to baseline values immediately after swimming goggle removal (corrected p-value <0.05 in all cases). No significant effects of swimming goggles use were observed for anterior chamber depth and anterior chamber volume.Conclusions: Wearing swimming goggles leads to acute corneal thinning, iridocorneal angle reduction, and intraocular pressure elevation. These findings may be of special relevance for individuals with corneal ectasias, as well as for individuals at high risk of glaucoma onset or progression.
