摘      要：AIM:To evaluate the central corneal thickness(CCT)measurements of premature infantsMETHODS:The premature infants who were born between 25-34wk of gestational age(GA)were retrieved for the *** CCT measurements were performed within the first 2d of their life under topical anesthesia by using an ultrasonic ***:The mean CCT of 200 eyes was 647.79±63.94μ*** mean CCT of the right and left eyes were similar(647.30±64.72μm and 648.29±63.47μm consecutively).The mean CCT of the girls was 642.08±54.89μm and the boys was 653.07±71.14μm,with no statistically significant difference(P0.05).But there was a negative correlation of the CCT with GA and birth weight(BW)(P0.01).CONCLUSION:The CCT values of premature babies were negatively correlated with GA and BW.
