Adjusting intraocular pressure for central corneal thickness does not improve prediction models for primary open-angle glaucoma.

Abstract

The calculation of individual risk for developing POAG in ocular hypertensive individuals is simpler and equally accurate using IOP and CCT as measured, rather than applying an adjustment formula to correct IOP for CCT.
