Implication

Randomized trial investigates corneal biomechanics in glaucoma patients treated with different eye medications, indicating varying impacts.

Key Points

  • This study aims to determine the effect of long-term topical IOP-lowering medications on corneal biomechanical properties in POAG patients.
  • Included 225 White European patients with POAG and 78 matched healthy subjects.
  • Measured corneal biomechanics using Scheimpflug analyzer Corvis ST, alongside detailed ophthalmic examinations.
  • Compared differences in corneal response between patients using prostaglandin analogs and other medications.
  • Significant differences in dynamic corneal response parameters between POAG patients and healthy subjects (P=0.001 to P=0.002).
  • Prostaglandin analog use resulted in observable changes in corneal biomechanics, while other medications showed minimal impact.
