The IOP was measured with Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) and CCT was measured with Orbscan II scanning slit topographer. The relationship was assessed using SPSS software.</p><p><strong>Results</strong>: The mean IOP value was 15.35 mmHg and mean CCT value was 531.50 ?m in 250 subjects (500). The mean IOP value was 15.16 mmHg SD ± 2.89 mmHg in men and 15.53 mmHg SD ± 3.11 mmHg in women. The mean CCT value was 529.07 ?m SD ± 35.19 ?m in men and 533.75 ?m SD ± 38.11 ?m in women. No significant difference in CCT and IOP was found between male and female subjects or between the right and left eye. Both genders had positive correlation between CCT and IOP.</p><p><strong>Conclusion</strong>: CCT was significantly correlated with IOP.</p> ER -
