PURPOSE: To describe a case of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and to illustrate a new principle in detecting and managing the disease using intraocular pressure (IOP) corneal hysteresis as a clinical guide. METHOD: A case report is reviewed of a white 87-year-old male who was detected with ocular hypertension (OHTN) with bilateral asymmetrical corneal stiffness and POAG. CONCLUSION: A new indicator and alternative approach to determine and manage POAG is presented using evidence-based technology for clinical care and facilitating positive outcomes for one of the leading causes of blindness in the world. |
