| Summary: |
Purpose: To
evaluate corneal thickness in eyes with normal tension
glaucoma.
Material and methods: CCT (measured by specular
microscope Topcon SP2000P) was evaluated in 70 eyes of
39 patients with diagnosed NTG, 35 women and 4 men in
age 31 – 78 years (mean 68 years).
Results: Mean central corneal thickness measured
by the specular microscope (between 11 and 1), was 523,7
µm in range 465-575 µm. Impact of CCT on results of
Goldman aplanation tonometry was detected in 55,7% of
NTG eyes – overestimated in 20% and underestimated in
35% of them. Corrected maximal IOP > 21mmHg, was found
in 14% of NTG eyes.
Conclusions: Central corneal thickness
measurement should be part of routine ophthalmological
examination in glaucomatous patients (specially in NTG),
being helpful in choice of optimal therapeutic strategy.
