Abstract

The article provides information on the result of the study concerning central corneal thickness (CCT). According to the study, CCT has borne an inverse relationship with the risk of developing glaucoma, but it is not correlated with the risk of glaucoma progression. Accordingly, it reveals that new tonometry technology may help clinicians achieve more accurate intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements.
