Abstract
Based on the results and practice patterns of the OHTS, treating all OHT patients seems not to be cost-effective. However, treating selective OHT patients with risk factors identified in the OHTS, for example, advancing age, higher pressures, thinner central corneal thickness, and wider vertical cup-to-disc ratios, does seem to be cost-effective for preventing the onset of glaucomatous damage.
