PRECIS: Corvis ST Tonometry and Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) measurements were conducted in primary open-angle glaucoma and normative subjects. Many parameters were significantly correlated, however, the strengths were weak to moderate. PURPOSE: Reichert ORA parameters are derived from pressure information following the application of air-jet, whereas detailed structural observation can be made using the Corneal Visualization Scheimpflug Technology instrument (CST). The purpose of the study was to investigate the association between CST measurements and ORA measured corneal hysteresis (CH). METHODS: Measurements of CST, ORA, axial length, average corneal curvature, central corneal thickness (CCT) and intraocular pressure with Goldmann applanation tonometry were carried out in 104 eyes of 104 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma and 35 eyes from normative subjects. The association between CST and ORA parameters was assessed using linear regression analysis, with model selection based on the second order bias corrected Akaike Information Criterion index. RESULTS: Deformation amplitude ratio (corneal softness, R=-0.51), SP A1 (corneal stiffness, R=0.41), and Inverse Radius (integrated area under the curve of the inverse concave radius, R=-0.44) were significantly correlated with CH (P <0.05). The optimal model to explain CH using CST measurements was given by: CH=-76.3+4.6×A1 time (applanation time in the corneal inward movement)+1.9×A2 time (second applanation time in the corneal outward movement) + 3.1 × highest concavity deformation amplitude (magnitude of movement of the corneal apex from before deformation to its highest concavity) + 0.016×CCT (R=0.67; P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: CST parameters are significant, but weakly or moderately, related to ORA measured CH.
