[Combined assessment of early-stage primary open-angle glaucoma progression].

A total of 92 patients (92 eyes), including 52 patients with early-stage primary open-angle glaucoma and 40 glaucoma suspects, were enrolled in the study and followed up during 25.5 +/- 3.3 months on the average by means of computer perimetry, optical coherence tomography and Heidelberg retinal tomography.

[Evaluation of the macular ganglion cell layer by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography in diagnosis of early-stage glaucoma].

The new Cirrus HD-OCT software was used to measure the thickness of ganglion cell and inner plexiform layers (GCIPL) in macular region in 56 patients (56 eyes) with early-stage primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and 53 healthy controls (53 eyes). The diagnostic value of the best parameters of GCIPL for POAG detection was insignificantly lower as compared to the best parameters of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer and optic nerve head.
