Abstract
Purpose: :
To examine the associations between central corneal thickness (CCT) and refractive error (RE), corneal power (CP), intraocular pressure (IOP), age, and gender.
Methods: :
We retrospectively reviewed 862 cases from our Joint Warfighter Refractive Surgery database to study the relationship of CCT to RE, CP, IOP, age, and gender.
Results: :
CCT was shown to correlate with the degree of RE (P<.05 ANOVA, P<.05 Kruskal-Wallis). No statistical significance was identified between CCT and CP, IOP, age, or gender.
Conclusions: :
These findings may provide a greater understanding of the relationship between ocular biometry and glaucoma.
