| Abstract | PURPOSE: We investigated the association between corneal hysteresis (CH) and corneal resistance factor (CRF) with glaucoma severity in primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG). METHODS: We recruited 204 subjects with PACG. Each subject underwent CH and CRF measurements using the Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA), optic nerve head topography measurement using scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, and visual field assessment. Glaucoma severity was based on the visual field mean deviation (MD) and classified as mild (71), moderate (55), and severe (78). RESULTS: The mean age ± SD of study subjects was 68.7 ± 8.9 years, with most being Chinese (n = 186; 91.2%). Corneal hysteresis and CRF were lowest in the severe PACG group (9.32 ± 1.86 and 9.50 ± 1.67 mm Hg) followed by moderate PACG (9.38 ± 1.88 and 9.73 ± 1.88 mm Hg) and mild PACG (9.47 ± 1.90 and 9.85 ± 1.75 mm Hg) respectively, but the differences were not significant (P = 0.89 and P = 0.46, respectively). There was a significant positive correlation between CH and central corneal thickness (CCT; correlation coefficient [r] = 0.26, P < 0.001), CRF and CCT (r = 0.43, P < 0.001), and negative correlation between CRF and vertical cup-disc ratio (VCDR; r = -0.20, P = 0.004), and CRF with cup-disc area (r = -0.14, P = 0.04). Corneal hysteresis and CRF were not correlated with MD (r = 0.01 for CH, r = 0.1 for CRF). After multivariate analyses, adjusting for age, sex, CCT, axial length, intraocular pressure, and number of glaucoma medication, no significant associations were noted between CH and CRF with MD, VCDR, disc area, rim area, or cup area. CONCLUSIONS: Corneal biomechanical parameters measured by the ORA are not associated with severity of glaucoma in PACG. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
