Corneal Thickness Measurement in the Management of Primary Open-angle Glaucoma
چکیده انگلیسی
There is strong evidence that measuring CCT is an important component of a complete ocular examination, particularly for patients being evaluated for the risk of developing POAG. Therefore, CCT measurement should be included in the examination of all patients with ocular hypertension. Although the evidence supporting the necessity of measuring CCT as part of screening for POAG or as a risk factor for glaucoma progression is not as strong, intraocular pressure (IOP) is the only modifiable risk factor in the treatment of glaucoma, and CCT has the potential to significantly impact IOP measurement by applanation tonometry in all patients.
