Evaluation of Corneal biomechanics in primary open angle glaucoma

Background: Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is one of the most important factors for diagnosis and monitoring glaucoma. IOP currently only modifiable risk factor glaucoma, cornea transparent tissue covering front eye. It a powerful refracting surface, providing 2/3 eye's focusing power. The adult about 1/2 millimeter thick comprised 6 layers: epithelium, Bowman's membrane, stroma, Dua's layer, Descemet's membrance endothelium. Objectives: correlation Corneal Biomechanics (ORA) with perimetry, OCT optic nerve results in eyes primary open angle glaucoma suspect patients. Patients Methods: This study prospective cross-sectional study, ocular response analyzer parameters were measured 40 patients to their Intraocular (IOP), Perimetry coherence tomography (OCT) retinal fiber layer thickness (RNFL) on 80 eyes, ages range between 45-65 years old. was prepared seeking treatment ophthalmology polyclinic Memorial Institute Ophthalmic Researches Giza , they screened identify those Results:Our revealed that corneal biomechanics Parameters are significantly lower advanced (POAG). Conclusion: Studying essential early follow up
