Topographic and specular microscopic evaluation of cornea and meibomian gland morphology in children with isolated growth hormone deficiency.

Our results showed that the growth hormone (GH) may have an important role on the anterior segment parameters; however, it is not clear that this misregulation leads to a clinical scenario in childhood. Future studies investigating GHD and/or GH therapy on the ocular surface system are required to clearly demonstrate basic mechanism of GH action.
