    Abstract:

    AIM:To evaluate the influence of corneal biomechanical properties on intraocular pressure(IOP)measurements of the glaucoma patients.METHODS:The study included 121 eyes of 80 cases.All cases underwent IOP evaluation with the ocular response analyzer(ORA)and Goldmann applanation tonometry(GAT),and central corneal thickness(CCT)was measured with Orbscan Ⅱ.RESULTS:The mean IOPcc was 17.41±5.62mmHg;the mean GAT was 15.76±6.06mmHg.IOPcc was significantly associated with corneal hysteresis(CH)and GAT(P=0.000);IOPcc was not associated with CCT.CONCLUSION:For glaucoma patients,the mean IOPcc is higher than the mean GAT.The IOPcc tends to be higher,while the CH is lower.The IOPcc is not influenced by CCT.
