The Coefficient of Scleral Rigidity in Normal and Glaucomatous Eyes

Applanation Tonometry Versus Dynamic Contour Tonometry in Eyes Treated With Latanoprost

“…20 However, other studies have reported that untreated glaucomatous eyes may be less rigid than nonglaucomatous eyes and that their rigidity may increase after the administration of topical medications such as b-blockers or pilocarpine. 18,19 In this study, dIOP was comparable to that reported in earlier studies. 5,8 However, it was significantly higher in the LG, compared with CG and NLG, whereas respective differences for GAT and DCT were statistically not significant.…”

Differences between Goldmann Applanation Tonometry and Dynamic Contour Tonometry following Trabeculectomy

“…There are controversial reports on the effects of glaucoma on ocular rigidity [22–24] as well as the differences in dIOP between treated and untreated glaucomatous eyes [1]. In the present study, the facts that target IOP had been reached in both TG and LG and that NFI did not differ significantly between them imply that glaucoma was equally advanced in both groups.…”

The Association between the Pulsatile Choroidal Volume Change and Ocular Rigidity

“…We expect higher OR and a decreased ΔV in older subjects because tissue stiffening is thought to occur with aging. 6 , 7 , 29 , 34 , 35 , 36 We speculate that no significant correlation with age was found in this cohort due to the narrow age range of included participants.…”
