A Study on the Central Corneal Thickness of Primary Angle Closure and XXXX and Its Effect on Visual Field Progression.

@entity1 @entity2840 @entity227 @entity726 @entity2747
PURPOSE: To determine the mean @entity2840 ( @entity2840 ) and the relationship between the @entity2840 and @entity227 in primary angle closure (PAC) and primary @entity2747 (PACG). DESIGN: A combined cross-sectional and prospective study on PAC and PACG. METHODS: A total of 35 eyes were included in the study for each group of normal control, PAC, and PACG @entity1 from eye clinics in Kota Bharu, state of Kelantan, Malaysia, from January 2007 to November 2009. The PAC and PACG @entity1 were divided into thin and thick @entity2840 groups. They were followed up for 12 to 18 months for @entity227 assessment with their mean @entity726 Intervention Study (AGIS) score. RESULTS: The @entity2840 was 516.8    26.0   m for PAC and 509.7    27.4   m for PACG. Both were significantly thinner compared with the control group with @entity2840 of 540    27.8   m (P < 0.001). There was a statistically significant increase in the mean AGIS score after 12.9    1.7 months of follow-up in the thin @entity2840 group for PACG (P = 0.002). However, no significant increase in the mean AGIS score was found for the thick @entity2840 group in PACG and for both thin and thick @entity2840 in PAC. CONCLUSIONS: The PAC and PACG had statistically significant thinner @entity2840 compared with the controls. Thin @entity2840 was associated with @entity227 based on the mean AGIS score in PACG.
