Correlation Between Intraocular Pressure, Central Corneal Thickness, Stage of Glaucoma, and Demographic Patient Data

Abstract

Glaucoma patients with thin central corneal thickness are more likely to be found at an advanced stage of the disease and among those with normal-tension glaucoma and black African ancestry. Underestimation of intraocular pressure by Goldmann applanation tonometry could be one causative factor.
