Relationship between short wavelength perimetry and central corneal thickness values in ocular hypertensive subjects

To evaluate the results of short wavelength perimetry (SWAP) of ocular hypertensive (OHT) patients and correlate these findings with central corneal thickness (CCT) measurements. Thirty-seven OHT patients with a mean age of 50.2+/-8.2 (SD) years and 30 control subjects with a mean age of 50.3+/-8.5...

Description
Summary:To evaluate the results of short wavelength perimetry (SWAP) of ocular hypertensive (OHT) patients and correlate these findings with central corneal thickness (CCT) measurements. Thirty-seven OHT patients with a mean age of 50.2+/-8.2 (SD) years and 30 control subjects with a mean age of 50.3+/-8.5 (SD) years were included in this study. A questionnaire was applied to patients to evaluate the demographic risk factors that may predict glaucoma development. After a detailed ophthalmologic examination, achromatic and short wavelength perimetries and ultrasonic pachymetry were performed and the results were compared between the two groups with Student t test and Mann-Whitney U test.
