Plain English Summary

Background and study aims
Glaucoma is an eye condition caused by a build-up of pressure within the eye (the intraocular pressure or IOP). It develops when the fluid in the eye is not able to drain properly. If untreated, it can seriously affect sight and eventually lead to blindness. Here, we want to investigate the effects of the structure and functioning (biomechanical properties) of the cornea (the transparent lens in front of the eye) on IOP measurements taken with two different types of rebound tonometry (the method used to measure IOP),the ICare ocular response analyzer (ORA) and goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) in patients with glaucoma.

Who can participate?
Adults aged at least 18, with or without glaucoma from the Glaucoma Clinic in the Pusan National University Hospital (South Korea)

What does the study involve?
All participants undergo a ophthalmologic (eye) examination, and then their IOP is measured using the ocular response analyser and goldmann applanation tonometer.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
There will be no direct benefits and risks to those taking part.

Where is the study run from?
Glaucoma clinics in Pusan National University Hospital (South Korea)

Who is funding the study?
Initiator funded

Study information

Scientific title

The effect of corneal biomechanical properties on rebound tonometer in patients with normal tension glaucoma

Acronym

Study hypothesis

The corneal hysteresis is significantly lower and corneal-compensated IOP (IOPcc) is significant higher in normal tension glaucoma (NTG) patient than normal subjects.In addition, applanation tonometer and IOPcc may be greater in NTG than in either normal or high tension glaucoma (HTG) eyes. The null hypothesis is that the relationships between rebound tonometer and IOPcc may be different in NTG eyes with normal eyes.
