Purpose:
|
Recent studies have shown that CCT ;central corneal thickness may be affected by
anti-glaucoma medications.In this study we evaluated the effect of Latanoprost on CCT in patients with OAG; open angle glaucoma.
|
Methods:
|
Sixty two patients ;116 eyes with OAG were included in this study. CCT measurments before treatment and at 6 and 12 montha after treatment were analyzed.
|
Results:
|
Regardless of the type of OAG ,primary vs pseudoexfoliative ; a decrease in CCT was observed at all time-points of the study .
|
Conclusion:
|
Latanoprost cause significant decrease in CCT in patients with OAG. Patients suffering from pseudoexfoliative glaucoma showed more changes in CCT than primary OAG.
