Interocular asymmetry of visual field loss, intraocular pressure and corneal parameters in primary open-angle glaucoma
Ophthalmic Research Aug 11, 2020
Jiang J, Pan X, Lin Z, et al. - In patients with asymmetric primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), researchers sought to explore the connection between the corneal biomechanical parameters and visual field (VF) loss. The sample consisted of 89 POAG patients (50 males, 56.2%) with asymmetric VF loss [defined as an interocular difference of the global index mean deviation (MD) >2dB], aged 65.2 ± 13.3 years old. According to results, the worse eyes had lower MD and higher IOP than the better eyes. Findings suggested an association of asymmetric POAG with asymmetry in IOP and corneal biomechanical parameters but not in CCT. In patients with POAG, lower deflection amplitude and higher IOP were observed in eyes with more severe visual field damage.
