Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the correlation between central corneal thicknesses (CCT), intraocular pressure (IOP) and visual field defects in eyes with glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Materials and Methods: The study included 498 eyes of 254 glaucoma and ocular hypertension subjects that had comprehensive ocular examination, reliable and reproducible Swedish interactive thresholding algorithm standard perimetry, IOP measurements with Goldman applanation tonometry and CCT measurements with ultrasonic pachymetry. Patients were evaluated as Ocular hypertension (OHT), primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), secondary open angle glaucoma (SOAG), normotensive glaucoma (NTG) and primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG). Results: The mean CCT in OHT patients was significantly higher than in subjects with POAG, SAAG, and NTG (p<0.001). Average mean deviation and pattern standard deviation in OHT eyes were significantly lower than in eyes with either POAG, SOAG, PACG, or NTG (p<0.001). CCT was correlated with IOP measurements in NTG group (r=-0.538, p=0.002). Conclusion: OHT patients have higher CCT values and lower glaucomatous visual field defects than POAG and SOAG patients. Central corneal thickness should be taken into account beside the other risk factors when assessing risk for the development of glaucomatous visual field defects

Özet

Amaç: Glokom ve oküler hipertansiyon tanısı konulan olgularda santral kornea kalınlığı (SKK), göz içi basıncı (GİB) ve görme alanı defektleri arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmak. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmaya, glokom ve oküler hipertansiyon tanısı konulmuş 254 hastanın 498 gözü dahil edildi. Bu olgularda, detaylı göz muayenesi yanında güvenilir ve tekrar edilebilen standart görme alanı muayenesi, Goldman applanasyon tonometresi ile göz içi basınç ölçümleri ve ultrasonik pakimetre ile SKK ölçümleri yapıldı. Olgular oküler hipertansiyon (OHT), primer açık açılı glokom (PAAG), sekonder açık açılı glokom (SAAG), normal tansiyonlu glokom (NTG) ve primer açı kapanması glokomu (PAKG) olacak şekilde gruplara ayrılarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular : OHT’lu hastalarda ortalama SKK, PAAG, SAAG ve NTG gruplarından daha yüksek bulundu (p<0.001). OHT’lu hastalarda ortalama deviasyon ve pattern standart deviasyon değerleri ise PAAG, SAAG, PAKG ve NTG bulunan gözlere göre düşük bulundu (p<0.001). NTG Grubunda SKK ile GİB ölçümleri arasındaki korelasyon istatistiksel olarak anlamlı seviyede tespit edildi (r=-0.538, p=0.002). Sonuç : OHT’lu olgularda; PAAG, SAAG ve NTG’lu olgulara göre daha yüksek SKK ve daha düşük seviyede görme alanı defektleri bulunmaktadır. Glokomatöz görme alanı defekti gelişme riski değerlendirilirken SKK diğer risk faktörleriyle birlikte göz önüne alınması gerekmektedir
