Purpose: We have attempted to document that the pachometer used in primary eye care practices will show the same corneal thickness relationship with measured intraocular pressure (mIOP) as the research studies. A second purpose of the study is to determine what role, if any, corneal thickness has on the increase in mIOP with age.
Methods: Sonogage Corneo-Gage Plus ultrasound central corneal thickness (CCT) measurements were taken on 101 white ocular hypertensive (OHT) patients with mIOP at or above 21 mmHg, as measured by Goldmann tonometry, and compared with age-matched controls with mIOP of 16 mmHg or less.
