Relationship between central corneal thickness and progression of visual field loss in patients with open-angle glaucoma. Can J Ophthalmol. 2012 Apr;47(2):155-8 Authors: Cao KY, Kapasi M, Betchkal JA, Birt CM Abstract OBJECTIVE: To determine whether a relationship exists between central corneal thickness (CCT) and visual field (VF) progression in treated patients with open-angle glaucoma and asymmetric corneal thickness. DESIGN: Retrospective chart review. PARTICIPANTS: We studied 100 charts of patients with open-angle glaucoma and also bilateral CCT and VF data. METHODS: Charts from 2 glaucoma subspecialty practices were reviewed. The CCT and the rate of progression and event analysis of visual field data were assessed in all subjects. Subanalysis was performed for subjects whose CCT asymmetry was âÂ
