Brief Summary

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

Evaluate sensitivity and specificity of NOVA-DN visually evoked potentials (VEP) protocol and new software method (Corda) for glaucoma detection using optical coherence tomography (OCT) images to differentiate between normal subjects and glaucoma suspects.

Detailed Description

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

The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of NOVA-DN VEP protocol and Corda parameters to discriminate between healthy eyes and eyes with early to moderate glaucomatous visual field loss. We will evaluate measurements of the NOVA-DN VEP protocol, Corda software and Cirrus spectral domain (SD) OCT software in order to compare and correlate.

Hypotheses is that NOVA-DN VEP protocol and Corda analysis results in a high sensitivity, specificity and area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves (ROC area) for glaucoma detection. Second hypothesis is NOVA-DN VEP protocol and Corda parameters can differentiate between normal and glaucoma suspects.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Healthy Subjects

42 Healthy subjects with intraocular pressure less than 22 millimeters of mercury (mmHg), normal appearing optic discs and retinal nerve fiber layer, normal optical coherence technology (RNFL thickness) and normal visual field results in both eyes. Participants will have optical coherence tomography (OCT) and Diopsys visual evoked potential testing (VEP).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Optical Coherence Tomography

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive imaging modality that provides micrometer-scale resolution.It has been revolutionized in recent years by exploitation of Fourier domain (FD) techniques, which have a significant sensitivity advantage over traditional time domain (TD) OCT. In spectral-domain (SD-OCT) the reference mirror is stationary, and OCT signal is acquired using a spectrometer as detector or by varying the wavelength of the light source.

Visual evoked potential

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Visual evoked potential is a means of objectively testing visual field by viewing a computer monitor at 1 meter with a square black/white checkerboard pattern reversal stimulus. Electrodes are placed on the head and face to monitor Electroencephalogram (EEG) activity during testing. Output parameters from VEP system include amplitude and latency measures for each stimuli.

Glaucoma Suspects

45 Glaucoma suspects with glaucomatous appearance optic discs and/or thin retinal nerve fiber layer in at least one eye, normal optical coherence technology (RNFL thickness) and normal visual field results in both eyes. Participants will have optical coherence tomography (OCT) and Diopsys visual evoked potential testing (VEP).

Glaucoma Patients

49 Glaucoma patients with repeatable abnormal visual fields, glaucomatous optic disc appearance (those with cup to disc ratio greater than 0.7, rim thinning or Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer defects indicative of glaucoma) and/or repeatable intra-ocular pressure of 23 mmHg or higher, in at least one eye. Participants will have optical coherence tomography (OCT) and Diopsys visual evoked potential testing (VEP).
