“…Confusingly, patients with primary angle closure (PAC) or PAC glaucoma have been reported with thinner CCT compared with controls (range: 509.7 ± 27.4 to 525.9 ± 5.0 µm) [41,49]. Kniestedt et al found no association in their cohort [36].…”

Central corneal thickness (CCT) is an important parameter in the assessment of any potential glaucoma patient. While it affects prognosis in ocular hypertension, its value in patients diagnosed with glaucoma is less certain. There are several biological factors and genetic components that may influence glaucoma progression, which have been associated with thinner CCT. The CCT itself can be affected by several factors including ethnicity, age, sex, glaucoma medications, genetics, and the subtype of glaucoma. Besides, there is variability in the measurement of CCT between difference types of devices. These factors need to be considered in the evaluation of glaucoma patients' CCT and its effect on interpretation of intraocular pressure levels and risk stratification.

“…In addition, further research is also needed to explore other factors that may influence CCT in glaucoma patients, such as genetic factors, race, and the use of certain medications. A better understanding of these factors may aid in the development of more effective glaucoma prevention and treatment strategies [18][19][20].…”

Background: Central corneal thickness (CCT) is an important risk factor in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma. This study aims to determine the CCT picture of various types of glaucoma at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang. Methods: This descriptive retrospective study involved data from glaucoma patients at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang for the period January 2019 - December 2020. CCT data was obtained from medical records and OCT computer data. Descriptive analysis was carried out to see the distribution of CCT in ocular hypertension (OHT), glaucoma suspect (GS), normal tension glaucoma (NTG), primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), and juvenile open-angle glaucoma (JOAG) groups. Results: A total of 123 glaucoma patients were analyzed. The overall mean CCT was 535.50 ± 43.82 µm. The highest mean CCT was in the OHT group (566.30 ± 32.07 µm) and the lowest in POAG (523.39 ± 39.43 µm). The mean age of patients was 35.19 ± 16.20 years. The POAG group had the highest mean age (52.52 ± 9.54 years), while the JOAG group had the lowest (22.00 ± 5.84 years). Conclusion: There are variations in CCT in various types of glaucoma, with OHT having the highest CCT and POAG the lowest. This data can be a basis for consideration in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma in Indonesia.

Determining target intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucoma patients is multifaceted, requiring attention to many different factors such as glaucoma type, severity of disease, age, race, family history, corneal thickness and hysteresis, and initial IOP. Even with all these variables accounted for, there are still patients who have progression of the disease despite achieving target IOP. Intraocular pressure variability has been identified as a potential independent risk factor for glaucoma progression but is currently difficult to quantify in individual patients. New technologies enabling measurement of both diurnal and nocturnal IOP may necessitate modifying our concept of target pressure.

A Study on the Central Corneal Thickness of Primary Angle Closure and Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma and Its Effect on Visual Field Progression

Abstract: The PAC and PACG had statistically significant thinner CCT compared with the controls. Thin CCT was associated with visual field progression based on the mean AGIS score in PACG.
