purpose : to compare the ability of scanning laser polarimetry (gdx vcc), and optical coherence tomography (oct) to discriminate eyes with primary open angle glaucoma (poag) from normal eyes and to assess the relationship between their parameters methods : eighty-seven glaucomatous eyes of 87 patients and 25 normal eyes were enrolled. the mean age of patients and normal group were 54.96±18.34 a...

PURPOSE To evaluate the average and regional correlations of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness measured by StratusOCT (optical coherence tomography; Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc., Dublin, CA) and GDx VCC (Laser Diagnostic Technologies, Inc., San Diego, CA). METHODS Eighty-nine subjects-27 normal, 21 with suspected glaucoma, and 41 with glaucoma-were included in this cross-sectional study....

PURPOSE To evaluate and compare the diagnostic accuracies for glaucoma detection of scanning laser polarimetry (SLP) with enhanced corneal compensation (GDx ECC) and variable corneal compensation (GDx VCC; both by Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA), according to different levels of disease severity and presence of atypical retardation patterns. METHODS The study included 102 eyes of 68 patients ...

PURPOSE To investigate the relationship between retinal light sensitivity measured with standard automated perimetry (SAP) and retardation of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) measured with the GDx VCC (Laser Diagnostic Technologies, Inc., San Diego, CA). METHODS Forty-seven healthy subjects and 101 patients with glaucoma were examined with SAP and with the commercially avail...

PURPOSE To assess the diagnostic ability of scanning laser polarimetry (GDx VCC) to differentiate between normal and glaucomatous eyes. METHODS 417 eyes of 417 consecutive subjects were prospectively selected. They were classified into 60 healthy controls, 218 ocular hypertensive eyes, 68 glaucoma suspects, and 71 glaucomatous eyes, depending on intraocular pressure, optic nerve head morpholo...

CASE REPORT We report the follow-up of a case of choroideremia who underwent three white-on-white automated visual field and three scanning laser polarimetry (SLP) examinations by means of a GDx VCC in the course of one year. A bilateral perimetric deterioration in indices and scotomas was found. As a result, retinal nerve fiber layer retardation parameters and maps changed on GDx VCC advanced ...

AIM To evaluate the diagnostic performances and correlations of retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness measured by RTVue OCT and GDx variable corneal compensation (VCC). METHODS The total and regional RNFL thickness were measured by RTVue OCT and GDx VCC in 62 normal eyes and 72 glaucomatous eyes of Chinese subjects. The RNFL thickness profiles of normal and glaucomatous eyes by RTVue OCT...

PURPOSE: To evaluate the correlation between automated achromatic perimetry (AAP) and the output of two retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) analysers: scanning laser polarimetry (GDx-VCC) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS: Quantitative RNFL measurements with GDx-VCC and Stratus-OCT were obtained in one eye from 52 healthy subjects, 38 ocular hypertensive (OHT) patients and 94 glaucom...

PURPOSE To compare quantitative polarimetric measurements in eyes with NTG and HTG using GDx-VCC. Both groups were matched by age and glaucoma stage based on the Humphrey visual field test. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of 146 patients who underwent Humphrey field analysis (HFA) and GDx-VCC. We compared outcomes of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) parameters among the three ...

PURPOSE To evaluate and compare correlations between structural and functional loss in glaucoma as assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT), scanning laser polarimetry (GDx VCC, as this was the model used in this study), standard automated perimetry (SAP), and the Humphrey Matrix (Matrix). METHODS Ninety glaucomatous eyes identified with SAP and 112 eyes diagnosed using Matrix were inde...
