| Summary: |
Purpose: To
evaluate the usefulness of scanning laser ophthalmoscope
(TopSS) and scanning laser polarimeter (GDx) in
diagnosis and monitoring patients suspected of primary
open angle glaucoma (POAG).
Material and methods: In eighty eyes of 40
patients, we performed TopSS, GDx and static perimetry (Octopus
123) in the time period of three years.
Results: The GDx analysis showed progression of
changes in the retinal fiber thickness in 28 (35%) eyes
(p<0,05). In 18 eyes we found non-specific changes in
GDx examinations, which were related to no glaucomatous
reason. TopSS analysis of the optic nerve head revealed
progression in c/d in 16 (20%) eyes (p<0,05). In seven
eyes we detected changes in the visual field, which were
more strongly connected with changes in TopSS than GDx.
Conclusions: 1. The TopSS and GDx examinations
enabled diagnosis and monitoring of early glaucomatous
changes in the period of observation. 2. The GDx
examination seems to be more sensitive, and TopSS more
specific to glaucoma. |
