ICare Pro: Age Dependent Effect of Central Corneal Thickness on Intraocular Pressure in Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension Patients.

Conclusions: IOP measurements with ICare Pro were shown to be dependent on age, CCT and time of day in glaucoma and ocular hypertension patients. Thus, aging, corneal biomechanical properties and circadian rhythms should be taken into consideration when adjusting IOP. PMID: 31905299 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
