Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to examine whether there is a difference in macular ganglion cell complex thickness and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in early-stage Primary open angle glaucoma and normal tension glaucoma with spectral domain OCT.

Detailed Description

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

Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy characterized by gradual degeneration of neuronal tissue in which retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are injured, leading to the loss of the visual field.Recent studies have separately demonstrated a reduction in the macular retinal thickness and in the retinal nerve fibers in both POAG and NTG.It has been demonstrated that in early stage NTG macular GCC thickness showed a strong correlation with thickness of the RNFL. However there have yet to be any reports regarding the comparison of macular thickness, ganglion cell complex and retinal nerve fiber layer between POAG and NTG with RS-3000 RetinaScan at early stage.

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

* IOP higher than 21 mmHg before treatment on three different visits,
* Best corrected VA of 20/25 or better with a spherical equivalent within ±5 D and a cylinder correction within +3 D;
* An open angle confirmed by gonioscopy.
* Glaucomatous optic disc damage defined as by the presence of glaucomatous optic neuropathy like rim thinning (diffuse or local), cupping, notching, and a cup/disc ratio \>0.2 with asymmetry.

NTG group were included if;

• They had the same optic disc and visual field criteria as for the POAG patients with the exception that their IOP was as ≤21 mmHg on three separate visits without any glaucomatous treatment.

The control group

* Who had no ocular disease
* Who had not undergone ocular surgery or laser procedures.
* With a normal anterior segment, open angles, and normal posterior segment findings also normal optic nerve head appearance in their ophthalmic examination.
* The IOP measurements were lower than 21 mmHg, and full-threshold 30-2 HFA were also within normal limits in the control group.

Exclusion Criteria

* Subjects with any retinal disease, diabetes mellitus, or neurological disease or who had undergone ocular surgery and laser procedures.
* Subjects with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma and pigmentary glaucoma were excluded.
