ness was: 0.490 (0.462-0.510) mmand left eyelids: 0.489 (0.467-0.508) mm, p = 0.394. IOD values showed no significant cor-
relation with the eyelids thickness on the right eyes: ρ = -0.051, p = 0.747; as well as on the left eyes: ρ = - 0.183, p = 0.240.
In addition, no significant correlation of eyelids thickness with age was found: on right eyes: ρ = -0.069, p = 0.662; and on
left eyes: ρ = 0.115, p = 0.463. When the group was divided into two subgroups with low (n = 20, 12.0 (12.0-12.6) mmHg
and high (n = 23, 16.0 (15.5-19.0) mmHg IOP-values (cutoff: 15 mmHg), the average eyelids thicknesses of both subgroups
hardly differed from each other: 0.494 (0.479-0.505) mm vs. 0.489 (0.469-0.503) mm, p = 0.470.
Conclusions:
The results of the study demonstrate that in the range of normal IOP values at not pathologically changed
eyelids the non-corneal transpalpebral scleral tonometry does not depend on the thickness of the eyelid. In addition, our
data revealed no significant age-related alterations of eyelid thickness.
