Biological age acceleration is associated with an increased risk of glaucoma and elevated intraocular pressure.

ALISO VIEJO, Calif.-- (BUSINESS WIRE)--Glaukos Corporation (NYSE: GKOS), an ophthalmic pharmaceutical and medical technology company focused on novel therapies for the treatment of glaucoma, corneal ...

To determine whether adjusting corneal hysteresis (CH) values for central corneal thickness (CCT) and intraocular pressure (IOP) improves its capability to differentiate primary open-angle ...

Mean IOP was 15.1 mm Hg in the study group and 11.6 mm Hg in the control group (P = .001). The impact of central corneal thickness on IOP measurement is widely recognized.

However, Mr. Taylor said that IOP measurement based on corneal thickness is an outmoded technique. “These formulas have been scientifically and mathematically discredited,” he said.

In 1975, Ehlers measured the ‘real’ or ‘manometric’ IOP using a cannulation method in a group of 29 normal eyes undergoing cataract surgery and correlated corneal thickness to measurement ...
