pubmed:abstractText |
45 patients suffering from a primary hypercholesterolemia were treated with Simvastatin. Additionally to internal visits regular ophthalmologic examinations were performed. The main interest concerning the ophthalmologic examination was directed toward the documentation and measurement of lens opacities by means of Scheimpflug photography. Moreover, every 6 months a complete regular ophthalmologic examination was carried out. We present the results after a time period of 2 years. Relevant changes in clinical findings could not be found. In some patients the Scheimpflug measurement revealed an increase in light scattering. These findings, however, were within the limit of normal age related changes.
