Abstract
Purpose
This study aimed to evaluate changes in lenticular structures using the Pentacam HR in patients with acromegaly.
Design
Prospective observational study.
Methods
A total of 40 patients with acromegaly and 40 healthy volunteers were included in this prospective observational study. For anterior segment evaluation, lens densitometry values were analyzed in designated regions using the Pentacam HR Scheimpflug imaging system. The average values were calculated from predefined three-dimensional zones (Zone 1: 2.0 mm, Zone 2: 4.0 mm, and Zone 3: 6.0 mm), with the center of the pupil as the reference point.
