Association Between Ocular Biomechanics Measured With Corvis ST and Glaucoma Severity in Patients With Untreated Primary Open Angle Glaucoma.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To compare the ocular biomechanical differences between normal controls and patients with untreated primary open angle glaucoma, including normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) and high-tension glaucoma (HTG), and to investigate the association between ocular biomechanics and glaucoma severity in each group.

Methods

One hundred fifty-three eyes of 153 subjects, including 51 controls, 47 NTG, and 55 HTG cases, were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Each participant underwent biomechanical measurements by using the Corneal Visualization Scheimpflug Technology. Glaucoma severity was evaluated by mean deviation (MD), pattern standard deviation (PSD), ganglion cell complex (GCC), and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness.

Results

Deformation amplitude (P = 0.001
