A consecutive series of primary open angle glaucoma patients was evaluated to determine the earliest glaucomatous visual field defect. One hundred twelve fields were considered worthwhile for detailed analysis. The fields were performed on a Goldmann perimeter utilizing static-kinetic techniques.Although ...
Early Glaucomatous Field Defects in Computerized Perimetry (Octopus 201) and Tangent Screen (Bjerrum Kampimetry)A total of 120 visual fields of 90 chronic glaucoma patients exhibiting early glaucomatous field defects up to stage II according to Aulhorn were investigated to determine the frequency ...
After Goldmann perimetry follow-up for 2.5 years, 24 eyes showed reproducible typical visual field defects (VFD) in the glaucoma group, which appeared in the same location where light threshold had reduced previously. Therefore, a typical glaucoma VFD was preceded by the slight localized ...
Location of visual field defect and optic disc assessment by confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope in early normal tension glaucomaPurpose To compare topographic optic disc measurements in patients with central 10-degree and outer arcuate visual field (VF) defects in early normal tension glaucoma (NTG...
The article presents the findings of a study published in "Ophthalmology" wherein the detection of early glaucoma retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) defects using thickness maps generated with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) is more accurate than clock-hour and deviation maps. ...
Among the defects which were studied, we noticed a predominance of what we called pericaecal scotoma (PCS) and levelling. These two first signs appear as an alarm signal. To detect the early visual field signs of open-angle glaucoma developing, this study recommends the use of a background ...
The pattern electroretinogram was recorded in patients with initial stages of visual field defects due to open-angle glaucoma and in age-matched normal subjects. Both normal subjects and glaucoma patients had a visual acuity above 0.8. Counterphasing checkerboard patterns were used as visual stimuli...
A better understanding of the underlying molecular defects, as well as the development of transgenic animal models based on the predisposing gene defects, may lead to more effective and specific therapies. Allelic variants of early-onset–glaucoma genes may also contribute to the susceptibility of ...
Glaucoma Diagnostic Ability of Ganglion Cell–Inner Plexiform Layer Thickness Differs According to the Location of Visual Field Loss Objective To determine whether the ganglion cell鈥搃nner plexiform layer (GCIPL) or circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (cpRNFL) is better at disting... Hye-You...
Primary angle closure was defined as iridotrabecular contact, either appositional or synechial, of at least 180° on gonioscopy, and primary angle-closure glaucoma as reproducible glaucomatous visual field defects, glaucomatous optic neuropathy, or both, and intraocular pressure greater than 21 mm ...
