GROUP 6 Dorina Cheles Alejandro Lichtinger Zohar Yehoshua Goldich Yakov Alexa Goz Ibrahim Ali Dani GatonYaacov Rozenman
Case Presentation #3 • 36 y.o male pt. • BE: VA SC 6/6 IOP- 23mmHg C/D - 0.3 • W/W HVF – normal • SWAP - normal • CCT – 482/480 µ • No FHx Glaucoma
To treat or not to treat…? Not to treat
We decided on some missing info: • IOP – 23mmHg highest measured IOP on repeated diurnal curves • C/D - 0.3 was vertical with normal rim shape
“Classic” - Risk factors for Glaucoma • Age • Race • Family history • Level of IOP • C/D ratio • DM • HTN ? • Myopia • Migraine • Raynaud syndrome
The Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study Baseline Factors That Predict the Onset of Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma Mae O. Gordon, et al. Arch Ophthalmol.2002;120:714-720.
“New” - Risk factors • PSD • CCT
OHTS – risk factors • Age • IOP • CCT • C/D • PSD • DM

Does the corneal thickness really have such a predictive power ?
The European Glaucoma Prevention Study Risk ratio for CCT was only 1.3 vs. 1.7 in OHTS Apparently black population in USA (25%) contributes to role of CCT
Corneal Biomechanical Properties (Hysteresis) Corneal Resistance Corneal Structure Corneal Elasticity More important to IOP measurement than just thickness
CCT should be considered • In its appropriate clinical setting • Understanding its limitations • Using Clinical Common Sense
The prediction derived using these methods is designed to aid but not to replace clinical judgment.
“Consider treatment” Decided not to treat but…. Has to be followed up (IOP,C/D, VF, OCT etc.) X X X
