Purpose
To investigate any possible relationship between the central corneal
thickness and the radial peripapillary capillary density detected by
optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography in eyes with ocular
hypertension.
Materials and methods
In this observational study, 135 eyes were examined. OCT angiography of
the optic disc (4.5 mm) and ultrasound corneal pachymetry were performed
in all cases. Age, medical treatment for ocular hypertension, sex, and
retinal nerve fiber layer thickness were evaluated. The main indices of
blood flow were also examined. Spearman correlation coefficients were
used to explore the association between two continuous variables.
Results
A directly proportional significance regarding the correlation between
central corneal thickness and radial peripapillary network was indicated
in eyes with ocular hypertension (p =.036).
Conclusions
Central corneal thickness and radial peripapillary capillary density
constitute two essential screening parameters for patients with ocular
hypertension.
