Purpose:
|
An objective and accurate method of quantifying Glaucoma optic neuropathy would enhance our understanding and treatment of this disease. The early diagnosis of RNFL changes associated with glaucoma is crucial for all patients with glaucoma. Subjective evaluation of the optic disk and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) is the current standard for detection of early and internal structural damage in glaucoma.
|
|
Methods:
|
: Visual field parameters and OCT RNFL measurements of 30 eyes of 30 glaucoma patients with various stages of glaucoma were compared with 20 eyes of 20 normal age matched .
|
|
Results:
|
The correlations between mean retinal sensitivity and RNFL Thickness were described with linear and logarithmic regression analyses. A statistically significant, age-adjusted correlation between function and structure was found .
|
|
Conclusion:
|
OCT RNFL thickness measurement zones obtained with a commercial unit were similar to what is obtained with established techniques, such as visual field testing, for assessing localized glaucomatous damage. Our study demonstrated that OCT measurement of RNFL thickness and visual field defect measurements are topographically related in glaucoma
