Abstract
TO DATE, the majority of studies describing the distribution and factors related to central corneal thickness (CCT) have been conducted in predominantly white populations. Data are limited, however, for populations of African descent, despite recent reports indicating that CCT may be related to race.1-3 Other factors associated with CCT include age, 1,4,5 sex, 1 diagnosis of glaucoma, 3,6-11 diurnal changes, 12,13 refractive error, 1,5,14 genetic influences, 15 diabetes, 1 and intraocular pressure (IOP).2,4,10,16-18Keywords
