Association of Corneal Thickness and Intraocular Pressure

I read with great interest the article by Nemesure et al¹ inthe February 2003 issue of the ARCHIVES. I commend the authors on their studyof race in regard to an association between central corneal thickness (CCT)and intraocular pressure (IOP). However, I would hesitate to accept the authors'conclusion that there is no association between CCT and IOP in the black populationof Barbados, West Indies.
