Macular pigment is associated with glare-affected visual function and central visual field loss in glaucoma.
AIM To evaluate the relationship between macular pigment optical density (MPOD) and glare disability in open-angle glaucoma. METHODS A cross-sectional analysis of baseline data (88 subjects; median age, 67 (range 36-84) years) collected during the Macular Pigment and Glaucoma Trial (ISRCTN registry number: 56985060). MPOD at 0.25°, 0.5° and 1° of retinal eccentricity was measured using custom...
متن کاملFree radicals in the aqueous humor of patients with glaucoma
PURPOSE To clarify the presence of oxidative stress in glaucoma and discuss whether free radicals contribute to neovascular glaucoma (NVG) and non-NVG. METHODS Two patient groups were formed: the NVG group (n = 10) and the non-NVG group (n = 17). Free radicals in aqueous humor were detected by measuring the electron spin resonance (ESR). To identify free radical species, either superoxide dis...
متن کاملIncreased interleukin-6 in aqueous humor of neovascular glaucoma.
PURPOSE To demonstrate the involvement of proinflammatory cytokines in intraocular neovascularization by detecting the presence of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-2, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha in aqueous humor and serum of patients with neovascular glaucoma (NVG) secondary to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). METHODS According to the grade of iris neovascularization (NVI), patients wit...
متن کاملErythropoietin levels in aqueous humor of patients with glaucoma
PURPOSE To compare the aqueous concentration of erythropoietin (EPO) in eyes with primary open-angle (POAG), pseudoexfoliative (PXFG), and neovascular (NVG) glaucoma with age-matched eyes with cataracts, and to correlate its concentration with other factors including age, gender, intraocular pressure (IOP), type of glaucoma, and severity of glaucoma. METHODS In this prospective non-randomized...
متن کاملpatterns of visual field loss in patients with open angle glaucoma
purpose: to determine the prevalence of various types of visual field defects in patients with open angle glaucoma at the time of diagnosis. methods: this cross-sectional study was performed on patients who were referred to our glaucoma clinic. open angle glaucoma was confirmed by intraocular pressure measurement, perimetry, fundoscopic examination and gonioscopy. the last perimetry of patients...
