Purpose: To study the factors influencing central corneal thickness in patients diagnosed with primary glaucomas.

Methods: 230 eyes were included in this cross sectional study. Patient parameters were recorded using a prepared questionnaire and complete ocular examination including IOP and gonioscopy was done. CCT was measured using ultrasound pachymeter (Pacscan 300p – Sonomed).

Results: The mean CCT measured in this study was 537.6 ± 39.3 μm. Age was found to have a negative correlation with CCT, with r = -0.38( p< 0.001). There was no significant correlation between gender and CCT. Diabetic patients were found to have higher CCT (555.72 ± 33.81 μm ; p < 0.001). The mean CCT in those with PACG was 568.13 ± 33.78 μm, which was significantly higher than that of patients with POAG (523.76 ± 33.44 μm), with a p value < 0.001. Myopes had a significantly lower CCT than hypermetropes (CCT = 509.72 ± 33.14μm, p < 0.001). IOP by Goldmann applanation tonometry showed a significant positive correlation with CCT with r = 0.78 and p < 0.001.

Conclusion: CCT is significantly affected by age, presence of diabetes mellitus, type of refractive error, type of primary glaucoma and intraocular pressure by Goldmannapplanation tonometer. There is no significant relation between gender and CCT.

Keywords: Central corneal thickness, intraocular pressure, Goldmann applanation tonometer, primary glaucoma.
