Abstract :

 Introduction: Recent studies have shown that central corneal thickness (CCT) may be affected by anti–glaucoma  medications.In this study, we evaluated the effect of Latanoprost on CCT in patients with open–angle glaucoma. Methods: One hundred seventy one eyes of 90 glaucoma patients in two groups, recipients of Latanoprost and other anti–glaucoma medications were enrolled.
