Relationship between central cornea thickness (CCT) and intraocular pressure (IOP) among myopic patient / Nurul Hidayah Mohd Ghazali

Glaucoma is the second leading causes of irreversible blindness in the world with Asian to be half of the world's glaucoma population. Central corneal thickness (CCT) and intraocular pressure (IOP) has become an important parameter in diagnosing, classify, and monitor the progression of the glaucoma. Besides that, it also important when planning cornea refractive surgery. The purpose of this study is to to find the mean value of central cornea thickness (CCT) and intraocular pressure (IOP) in young Malay adult and its relationship on myopic correction. A cross-sectional and descriptive in which a sample of 65 eyes either emmetrope or myope aged from 18 to 40 years old are selected from subject that attending UiVision Care Clinic. We studied CCT, IOP, degree of myopia and their relationship by calculating the mean, standard deviation and 95% confident interval for mean.
