Methods: A retrospective analysis was done and the of CCT of 24 black and 21 white Brazilian patients were compared. The CCT展开更多
Purpose: To determine if there is an influence of the Water Drinking Test (WDT) on central corneal thickness (CCT) due to the sudden change of osmolarity since an increase on CCT could lead to a false higher IOP readi...Purpose: To determine if there is an influence of the Water Drinking Test (WDT) on central corneal thickness (CCT) due to the sudden change of osmolarity since an increase on CCT could lead to a false higher IOP reading on applanation tonometry. Methods: 38 glaucomatous or glaucomatous suspect patients without ocular hypotensive medication were submitted to WDT. CCT was measured by ultrasound pachymetry before and展开更多
