Comparison of central corneal thickness in ocular hypertension, normal tension glaucoma, and primary open angle glaucoma

Purpose: To compare the central corneal thickness of ocular hypertension, normal tension glaucoma, and primary open angle glaucoma.
Methods: An analytical observational with cross-sectional methods were analyzed. The samples in this study were ocular hypertension, normal tension glaucoma, and primary open angle glaucoma at Universitas Sumatera Utara Hospital and networking hospital. Central corneal thickness was measured on 106 eyes with OCT Optovue®.
Results: A total of 106 eyes, with characteristic by age 44.98 ± 16.941 years, which female 62.1% and male 37.9%. The subjects of ocular hypertension were found 33.0%, normal tension glaucoma 32.1%, and primary open angle glaucoma 34.9%. The central corneal thickness was significant differences (p=0.0001) in this study.
Conclusion: Central corneal thickness was significant in ocular hypertension, normal tension glaucoma, and primary open angle glaucoma.
