Abstract
Background: We compared corneal visualization Scheimpflug technology (CST) parameters between eyes with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG). Methods: A retrospective analysis was done on data from 89 eyes with POAG and 83 eyes with PACG that had CST examinations. CST parameters were compared between eyes with POAG and those with PACG using a linear mixed model (LMM). Results: No differences were observed in age, central corneal thickness, intraocular pressure, or use of antiglaucoma eye drops between the two groups. Patients with PACG had a significantly shorter axial length (AL), a higher proportion of females, CST parameters, longer applanation 2 (A2) time, deeper A2 deformation amplitude, shorter peak distance (PD), longer whole eye movement, and longer whole eye movement time than patients with POAG. Highest concavity (HC) length and PD showed a significant positive correlation with AL. However, A1 length, A1 deformation amplitude, A2 time, A2 velocity, A2 length, A2 deformation amplitude, HC time, whole eye movement, and whole eye movement time were negatively correlated with AL. Conclusions: Biomechanical properties of the cornea differed between PACG and POAG. In some parts, AL differences between the POAG and PACG groups might contribute to the variation in CST parameters.
