Highlights recent studies relating to the impact of corneal structure and biomechanical properties on glaucoma evaluation and management.
Central corneal thickness has been shown to play a role in the interpretation of intraocular pressure. Central corneal thickness has also been suggested as a glaucoma risk factor. The potential role of other corneal factors, such as stromal makeup, in the accurate measurement of intraocular pressure and the assessment of glaucoma risk remains to be determined.
Improved understanding of central corneal thickness and corneal biomechanical properties may someday lead to a better understanding of glaucoma risk and its assessment.
重点介绍近期有关角膜结构和生物力学特性对青光眼评估与管理影响的研究。
中央角膜厚度已被证明在眼压的解读中发挥作用。中央角膜厚度也被认为是青光眼的一个风险因素。其他角膜因素，如基质组成，在眼压准确测量和青光眼风险评估中的潜在作用仍有待确定。
对中央角膜厚度和角膜生物力学特性的深入理解，未来某天可能会带来对青光眼风险及其评估的更好理解。
