PURPOSE: We sought to measure the impact of @entity2840 ( @entity2840 ), a possible risk factor for @entity16 , and corneal hysteresis, a proposed measure of corneal resistance to deformation, on various indicators of @entity16 . DESIGN: Observational study. METHODS: Adult @entity1 of the @entity726 Service underwent measurement of hysteresis on the Reichert Ocular Response Analyzer and measurement of @entity2840 by ultrasonic pachymetry. Two @entity726 specialists (H.A.Q., N.G.C.) reviewed the chart to determine highest known intraocular pressure (IOP), target IOP, diagnosis, years with @entity726 , cup-to-disk ratio (CDR), @entity154 ( @entity154 ), pattern standard deviation (PSD), @entity726 hemifield test (GHT), and presence or absence of @entity227 . RESULTS: Among 230 subjects, the mean age was 65 +/- 14 years, 127 (55%) were female, 161 (70%) were white, and 194 (85%) had a diagnosis of @entity725 ( @entity725 ) or suspected @entity725 . In multivariate generalized estimating equation models, lower corneal hysteresis value (P = .03), but not @entity2840 , was associated with @entity227 . When axial length was included in the model, hysteresis was not a significant risk factor (P = .09). A thinner @entity2840 (P = .02), but not hysteresis, was associated with a higher CDR at the most recent examination. Neither @entity2840 nor hysteresis was associated with @entity154 , PSD, or GHT "outside normal limits." CONCLUSIONS: Thinner @entity2840 was associated with the state of @entity16 as indicated by CDR. Axial length and corneal hysteresis were associated with progressive field worsening.
