Corresponding Author: Yan Zhang Department of Ophthalmology, The 2nd Teaching Hospital of Jilin University, 218 Ziqiang Street Changchun 130041, China Email: [email protected] Abstract: Corneal thickness is an important parameter of the structure of an eyeball. Prior to cornea refractive surgery, the measurement of corneal thickness has been given general importance. With the development of measuring instruments, the measurement of corneal thickness is safer, more accurate and more comfortable. In this study, common clinical measuring methods and their influencing factors are discussed.

What is the Real Cause of Glaucoma?
Introduction: The term glaucoma refers to a group of diseases that have a characteristic optic neuropathy with associated visual field loss in common. Intraocular pressure has been considered to be the only causal factor for glaucoma and the only factor that can be manipulated to alter the course of the disease. But considering high intraocular pressure as the only factor responsible for glauco...

AIM To evaluate changes in corneal polarisation properties and their influence on peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness measurements after laser assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) by means of scanning laser polarimetry (SLP) with variable corneal polarisation compensator (VCC) in normal white subjects. METHODS SLP was performed by means of GDx VCC on 32 eyes of 32 norm...
متن کاملTonographic Effect of Ocular Response Analyzer in Comparison to Goldmann Applanation Tonometry
AIMS The tonographic effect is a phenomenon of intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction following repeated tonometry. This study examines whether the tonographic effect occurs following IOP measurement performed with Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA). METHODS Both eyes of 31 glaucoma patients and 35 healthy controls underwent nine IOP-measurements performed with GAT and ORA. The number of GAT and OR...
متن کاملCorneal 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 کاملInfluence of dorzolamide on corneal endothelium.
PURPOSE To evaluate the influence of topical 1% dorzolamide treatment for 3 months on the endothelial morphology and the thickness of the cornea. METHODS The corneal endothelium was investigated in 21 glaucoma patients (29 eyes) who received topical 1% dorzolamide treatment for 3 months. Intraocular pressure, corneal endothelium, and central corneal thickness (CCT) were measured before and 3 ...
