ABSTRACT
Purpose@#We explored the effects of topical anti-glaucoma medications on the corneal biochemical properties of patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and glaucoma suspect (GS patients). @*Methods@#We retrospectively reviewed data on 115 OAG and 98 GS patients (225 and 128 eyes respectively). Corneal hysteresis (CH) was measured using an ocular response analyzer. Factors influencing CH were determined using a generalized estimation equation. @*Results@#The mean CH was lower in OAG than GS patients (p < 0.001). A lower cornea-compensated intraocular pressure, concomitant use of a beta-adrenergic blocker and an alpha2-adrenergic agonist, a higher visual field mean deviation, and a larger central corneal thickness were associated with a higher CH in the OAG group. @*Conclusions@#Concomitant use of a topical beta-adrenergic blocker and an alpha2-adrenergic agonist was associated with a higher CH.
