Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Eye movements that quickly scan a visual scene are critical to a number of daily activities including driving. It is not known whether rapid eye movement called saccades, are altered in glaucoma.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Ages from 40-80 years. Primary open angle glaucoma is defined by characteristic glaucomatous optic nerve head findings and the presence of corresponding visual field deficits in one or both eyes. All control subjects will be age-matched, with no ocular medical or surgical history, and a completely normal eye examination. Age-matched controls will be recruited from local hospital personnel and accompanying relatives.

Exclusion Criteria

* Any patient with a history of other eye disease, neurological disease or neurodegenerative disorder, or history of incisional ocular surgery within the previous month will be excluded.
