Abstract

We aimed to evaluate the effects of mild primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) disease on stereopsis and to compare the results with the normal population. Forty-three mild POAG patients and 30 age and sex-matched healthy controls were enrolled this study. Far and near stereoacuity was evaluated using Mentor BVAT System and TNO test, respectively, in both groups. Mean age of glaucoma and control groups were 59 ± 12 and 58±6 years, respectively (p=0.845). There were 17 (40%) men and 26 women (60%) in glaucoma group and 14 men (47%) and 16 women (53%) in control group (p=0.461). The median (min-max) stereoacuity assessed with Mentor BVAT System was 120 seconds of arc in POAG group and 60 seconds of arc in control group (p=0.008). With TNO test the median stereoacuity was 120 seconds of arc in POAG group and 60 seconds of arc in control group (p=0.025). According to the far and near stereopsis test results that performed both POAG and control groups, POAG significantly affects far and near depth perception even in early stages of the disease

Özet

Erken evre primer açık açılı glokom (PAAG) hastalığının stereopsis üzerine etkilerinin değerlendirilmesi ve normal popülasyonla karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Kırk üç erken evre PAAG olgusu ve 30 yaş ve cinsiyet yönünden eşleştirilmiş sağlıklı gönüllüler çalışmaya dahil edildi. TNO testi ile yakın stereopsis, Mentor BVAT-II Random Dot E testi ile de uzak mesafe stereopsis değerlendirildi. Ortalama yaş kontrol grubunda 58±6, PAAG grubunda 59±12 yıldı (p=0.845). Kontrol grubunda olguların 14'ü (%47) erkek, 16'sı (%53) kadın, PAAG grubunda ise 17'si (%40) erkek 26'sı (%60) kadındı (p=0.461). TNO testi ile elde edilen test sonuçlarının ortanca değeri kontrol grubunda 60 arc/sn iken PAAG grubunda 120 arc/sn idi (p=0.025). Mentor BVAT ile elde edilen sonuçların ortanca değerleri ise kontrol ve PAAG gruplarında sırasıyla 60 ve 120 idi (p=0.008). PAAG olguları ile kontrol grubu arasında yaptığımız uzak ve yakın stereopsis test sonuçlarına göre, PAAG hastalığı erken evrelerde bile hem uzak hem de yakın derinlik algısında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde bozulma yaratmaktadır
