An observational study in Hypertensive Complication, sponsored by Superior University. Active, not recruiting at 1 site in Pakistan. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 70 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-04-06.
Sponsored by Superior University · Observational
This observational cross-sectional study aims to compare the effect of axial length on the cup-to-disc ratio in non-glaucomatous hypertensive patients. Data will be collected from Khursheed Begum Eye Hospital and LRBT Hospital, with a sample size of 104 participants. A purposive sampling technique will be used.
Patients aged 18-70 years with systemic hypertension for at least one year and normal intraocular pressure will be included. Exclusion criteria include glaucoma, high myopia, hyperopia, ocular surgery, trauma, and optic nerve diseases. Axial length will be measured using optical biometry or A-scan ultrasonography, while the cup-to-disc ratio will be assessed through fundus examination using a slit lamp biomicroscope with a +90D lens or optical coherence tomography (OCT). Data will be meticulously documented, including patient demographics and medical history. The study will be completed within six months after approval, ensuring accurate and standardized measurements for reliable results.
Superior University is the lead sponsor of 242 studies on the registry; 24 are open to participants now.

Exclusion Criteria:
Axial length measured by biometry and CD ratio by slitlamp
The axial length, measured in millimeters, is defined as the distance from the anterior surface of the cornea to the retinal pigment epithelium. The axial length can be measured using either ultrasound biometry (accomplished via direct contact or immersion) or optical biometry
Time frame: 12 Months
