Correlation between the progression of optic disc and visual field changes in glaucoma.
Visual field test and optic disc evaluation are the standard examination techniques used to detect the onset and progression of glaucoma. This explorative study was performed to assess the temporal correlation between visual field and optic disc changes in eyes with ocular hypertension and well-established glaucoma. Eighty-six hypertensive and 16 glaucomatous eyes were followed up for a period ...
متن کاملDiscriminant analysis models for early detection of glaucomatous optic disc changes.
AIM To evaluate and compare four different mathematical formulas for the early detection of morphometric optic nerve head changes in chronic open angle glaucoma. METHODS The optic nerve heads of 161 patients with perimetrically defined glaucomatous optic nerve damage and of 194 normal subjects were examined by confocal laser scanning tomography. Using four formulas of linear discriminant anal...
متن کاملChanges in retinal nerve fiber layer and optic disc algorithms by optical coherence tomography in glaucomatous Arab subjects
PURPOSE To assess the difference in retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and optic disc algorithms between glaucomatous and normal Arab subjects using optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS RNFL thickness and optic disc parameters were obtained in 65 patients aged 50.1 ± 7.7 years. Percentage differences in all parameters were calculated and analyzed between groups. RESULTS The mean RNFL t...
متن کاملMembrane tissue on the optic disc may cause macular schisis associated with a glaucomatous optic disc without optic disc pits
This article reports a case of possible involvement of membrane tissue on the optic disc with macular schisis formation associated with glaucomatous optic disc without optic disc pits. A 78-year-old man presented with loss of central visual acuity of the left eye. He had a medical history of primary open-angle glaucoma. Visual acuity was 0.6 in his left eye, and funduscopy revealed macular schi...
متن کاملPeripapillary Intrachoroidal Cavitation and Optic Pit in a Case of High Myopia and Glaucoma
Purpose: To report a case of peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation (choroidal schisis) and optic pit in a case of high myopia and open-angle glaucoma. Case report: A 30-year-old high myopic man was referred to our clinic for presumed peripapillary choroidal tumors. In funduscopy, there were two yellow-orange and slightly elevated peripapillary lesions in both eyes with indistinct margins. A s...
