Corneal thickness in congenital glaucoma.
Central corneal thickness is very important measurement in glaucoma treatment because it influences the eye pressure measurements. A thinner cornea gives us artifactually lower intraocular pressure and a thicker cornea gives higher intraocular pressure reading, so it has to be corrected in both cases. The aim of this study is to compare central corneal thickness between congenital glaucoma pati...
متن کاملCorneal thickness in pseudoexfoliative glaucoma.
Measurements of central cornea thickness (CCT) have a very important value in glaucoma patients; if the central cornea is thinner than it suggests, then the intraocular pressure is falsely low. This study compares the central cornea thickness between patients with pseudoexfoliative glaucoma, open angle glaucoma, angle closure glaucoma and control group. This study included 34 patients with pseu...

purpose : to evaluate central corneal thickness (cct) in patients with juvenile glaucoma and compare it with that of normal individuals methods : a prospective, case-control study was performed on 80 eyes with juvenile glaucoma who attended glaucoma clinic in farabi eye hospital, tehran, iran and 107 clinically normal healthy eyes. standard automated perimetry (sap) was performed for all the pa...
متن کاملIs corneal thickness an independent risk factor for glaucoma?
c p t n i e a d m C i d The Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study (OHTS) showed that central corneal thickness (CCT) was a significant predictor of which patients with ocular hypertension are at higher risk for converting to glaucoma. Eyes with CCT of 555 m or less had a 3-fold greater risk of developing glaucoma compared with eyes that had CCT of more than 588 m. In a multivariable model includi...
متن کاملCentral corneal thickness of normal tension glaucoma patients in Japan.
PURPOSE To compare central corneal thickness (CCT) of patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG) with that of age-matched normal subjects, patients with open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and ocular hypertension (OH) subjects in Japan. METHODS Central corneal thickness was measured in 79 NTG, 61 POAG, 73 OH, and 50 normal subjects with an ultrasonic pachymeter. One eye for 1 subject randomly selecte...
