Is Central Corneal Thickness a reliable independent factor in decision-making regarding the management of patients with high IOP?

Georgiana Camburu et al. Rom J Ophthalmol. 2020 Jan-Mar.

Abstract

As time passes, we discover that things that were supposedly considered to be well known are in fact not as they seemed. Maybe the process is like this because we try to simplify our daily practice, but by doing so, don't we tend to trespass the whole picture? However, what happens if these factors affect our decision-making? Clinicians should incorporate CCT into the thinking process and should not focus on "corrected IOPs", because, besides CCT, there are many factors of corneal biomechanics that affect IOP.

Keywords: Central Corneal Thickness; GAT IOP; adjusted IOP.
