AIM: To study the relationship between the corneal central thickness (CCT) of primary open angle glaucoma patients and the severity of open angle glaucoma. METHODS: Carry out visual field check, OCT inspection of the central corneal thickness and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness to 30 cases (60 eyes) of our ophthalmic clinic's patients with primary open angle glaucoma, and then conduct statistic analysis. RESULTS: Among the study groups, all the patients' average central corneal thickness is 561. 8 (plus or minus) 44. 9 (483-609) μm. According to the CCT of two eyes of one patient, divide the eyes into two groups: there is significant difference in average defect among the groups(P = 0. 034, P= 0. 012), MD value and the value of average retinal. nerve fiber layer thickness are lower in the CCT relative-thinner group; There is no significant difference in pattern standard deviation(PSD) (P> 0.05). CONCLUSION: There is a certain correlation between central corneal thickness and the retinal nerve damage of openangle glaucoma. LA: Chinese
