Study design/patients and methods: CCT was evaluated with ultrasound pachymetry in a total of 179 individuals: 32 had bilateral PEXG, 55 had bilateral POAG, 35 had PXS, and 57 were healthy individuals without PXS.Results: CCT in PEXG eyes (526.00 &plusmn; 34.30 &micro;m) was significantly thinner compared to POAG eyes (549.36 &plusmn; 39.3 &micro;m) (P = 0.027) and normal control eyes with (550.64 &plusmn; 39.0 &micro;m) or without PXS (547.36 &plusmn; 33.1 &micro;m), (P = 0.039 and 0.048 respectively). No statistically significant difference was found comparing CCT values of POAG eyes to control group eyes.Conclusion: The evaluation of CCT is necessary in all patients with glaucoma and especially in those with PEXG due to the thinner cornea and the risk of underestimation of intraocular pressure.Keywords: CCT, pesudoexfoliation syndrome, glaucoma Georgios KitsosChristos GartziosIoannis Asproudiset alDove Medical PressarticleOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol 2009, Iss default, Pp 537-542 (2009)
