BACKGROUND
Studies mainly in the western population have compared central corneal thickness in primary open angle glaucoma and normal individuals have found variable results. We did this study to compare the central corneal thickness of primary open angle glaucoma patients with normal controls in a south Indian population.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
This was a masked, cross-sectional study undertaken in a tertiary care center in South India. A total of 50 controls and 50 primary open angle glaucoma patients were studied. Central corneal thickness between the two groups was compared using Wilcoxon two sample test and the signed rank test.
RESULTS
The mean central corneal thickness in the control group was 536 μm (462-608 μm) and in the primary open angle glaucoma group was 531 μm (476-609 μm).
CONCLUSION
There was no significant difference in the central corneal thickness between primary open angle glaucoma patients and the normal controls.
背景
主要针对西方人群的研究比较了原发性开角型青光眼患者与正常个体的中央角膜厚度，结果不一。我们开展这项研究以比较印度南部人群中原发性开角型青光眼患者与正常对照者的中央角膜厚度。
材料与方法
这是一项在印度南部一家三级医疗中心进行的双盲横断面研究。共研究了50名对照者和50名原发性开角型青光眼患者。两组之间的中央角膜厚度采用Wilcoxon双样本检验和符号秩检验进行比较。
结果
对照组的平均中央角膜厚度为536μm（462 - 608μm），原发性开角型青光眼组为531μm（476 - 609μm）。
结论
原发性开角型青光眼患者与正常对照者的中央角膜厚度无显著差异。
