https://doi.org/10.25700/NJG.2020.03.07
Abstract
PURPOSE: To analyze pathological alterations of the parameters of the optic disc as well as peripapillar and macular zones of the retina in preperimetric glaucoma patients.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: 57 patients with preperimetric glaucoma (33 eyes) and control group (24 eyes) were examined. We used HRT and OCT methods and computer software to perform color-coding of all pathological parameters.
RESULTS: Pathologically similar parameters that showed different relations between HRT and OCT results were divided into 3 subgroups: a) with equivalent results according to both methods; b) with the advantage of HRT method; c) with the advantage of OCT method.
CONCLUSIONS: When examining the parameters of OD and attached retina, HRT and OCT methods complemented each other, which allowed a better understanding of the processes occurring in glaucoma.
