PRCIS: Elevated corneal hysteresis (CH) and resistance factor (CRF) in obese and over-weight children imply weight's effect on corneal biomechanics. Increased Goldmann-correlated intraocular pressure (IOPg) in obese indicates glaucoma risk, emphasizing screening for IOP, retinal changes. PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of obesity on corneal biomechanics, retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) and central macular thicness (CMT) in children. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this prospective, cross-sectional, comparative study, 146 eyes of normal-weight, over-weight, and obese children aged between 6 to 17 years were evaluated...
