| Popis: | Purpose: To compare central corneal thickness (CCT) in subjects with controlled primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) and nonglaucomatous subjects and to investigate the correlation between CCT and intraocular pressure (IOP) in the study population. Materials and Methods: Twenty-three consecutive PCG cases with controlled IOP and no clinical evidence of corneal edema comprised the Study Group. There was an interval of at least 2 months between last intraocular surgery and inclusion in the study. Twenty-one subjects with strabismus or lacrimal drainage insufficiency who did not have glaucoma or any history of intraocular surgery or ocular trauma comprised the control group. The Control Group was age and sex-matched. Data from ultrasonic pachymetry and applanation tonometry were analyzed for differences between groups. Correlation of the study parameters was investigated. A P-value less than 0.05 was statistically significant. Results: Data from both eyes of subjects in the Study Group and Control Group were included in the original analysis. Mean CCT was statistically significantly higher in the Study Group compared to the Control Group (589.42 ± 53.44 μm vs. 556.14 ± 30.51 μm, respectively; P=0.001). There was a significant correlation between CCT and IOP (r=0.63; P |
