Clinical use of PanoMap for glaucoma: Frequently damaged areas in early glaucoma
Journal of Glaucoma Jan 17, 2021
Lee WJ, Shin YU, Lim HW, et al. - In this retrospective observational study, researchers sought to investigate the spatial distribution of the frequently damaged areas in early glaucoma, compare the patterns between nonprogressors and progressors using the combined wide-field parapapillary and macular deviation maps (PanoMap), and to assess the consistency of the fovea-disc relationship in PanoMap. A total of 118 patients with early glaucoma and a minimum follow-up period of 3 years were included. A clear spatial distribution of early glaucomatous changes was seen in the PanoMaps, suggesting that the damaged area was generally seen in the macular area. Since the accuracy of the fovea-disc relationship in PanoMaps was not excellent, when interpreting the PanoMap, this aspect should be considered.
