Özet
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.
