Evaluation of corneal morphology among newly detected patients with primary open angle glaucoma

Introduction: Glaucoma is an insidious blinding disease that may present in a variety of clinical scenarios. While Intraocular pressure is a major risk factor in its pathophysiology, patients have the disease without any documented elevation in pressure. To avoid missing a diagnosis of glaucoma, a thorough and careful evaluation of all the structural and functional components involved in glaucoma, should be performed. Although, most studies done so far have only focused on the Endothelial cell density among glaucoma patients, we highlighted its importance in the newly detected glaucoma patients.
