Central corneal thickness. Ocular correlations in normal eyes and those with primary angle-closure glaucoma.
In recent papers (Lowe, I968, I969a) it was shown that in normal eyes, lens position and thickness were coordinated with axial length and radius of corneal curvature, whereas in eyes with primary angle-closure glaucoma these correlations were lacking. Throughout adult life, lenses increase in thickness at the same rate in normal eyes and those with angle-closure glaucoma, but no change could be...
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...
متن کاملComparative biometric study between plateau iris configuration and primary open angle glaucoma with narrow angle.
PURPOSE To investigate biometrically the differences between plateau iris configuration (PIC) eyes and primary open angle glaucoma with narrow angle eyes. METHODS A comparative study involving a case series with 20 eyes of 11 plateau iris configuration patients and 45 eyes of 27 primary open angle glaucoma with narrow angle eyes patients was done. The following measurements were taken: cornea...
متن کاملCentral corneal thickness as a risk factor for advanced glaucoma damage.
OBJECTIVE To determine if central corneal thickness (CCT) is related to the level of glaucoma severity at the initial examination. METHODS The initial visit to a glaucoma specialist by consecutive patients with primary open-angle glaucoma from 1997 to 2002 was reviewed retrospectively. Each patient's age, sex, race, family history of glaucoma, number of glaucoma medications, visual acuity, sp...
متن کاملCentral corneal thickness measurements in patients with normal tension glaucoma, primary open angle glaucoma, pseudoexfoliation glaucoma, or ocular hypertension.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Recent studies have revealed patients with ocular hypertension to have thicker than normal central corneas and those with normal tension glaucoma to have thinner than normal ones, as determined by ultrasonic pachymetry. Since corneal thickness measurements and applanation tonometric estimates of intraocular pressure (IOP) correlate positively, monitoring of the former parameter ...
