The central corneal thickness measurement is desirable when establishing target intraocular pressure of patients with open-angle glaucoma. Central corneal thickness is a clinical factor in determining glaucoma severity. Patients with severe field loss showed lower corneal thickness compared with patients with mild and moderate visual field loss.
The association between ambulatory intraocular pressure curve and water-drinking test was not efficient to estimate peaks and the fluctuation of daily intraocular pressure curve. The ambulatory intraocular pressure curve and the water-drinking test must be analyzed separately. When predicting the peak and the fluctuation of the daily intraocular pressure curve, the ambulatory intraocular pressure curve was the most efficient procedure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
