21 mmHg -- with 34 eyes which presented a CCT average of 0.519 + 0.0393 mm. Conclusion: A linear regression between IOP and CCT was observed, meaning that the higher the CCT the higher the IOP will be. The usefulness of corneal pachymetry for IOP evaluation was shown in those patients where it was falsely increased or decreased on applanation tonometry, directing therapy towards patients really with glaucoma." />
