Purpose: To evaluate abnormalities in serum and aqueous humor uric acid (UA) levels in primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG).
Methods: Patients with PACG and age-similar and gender-similar controls (patients scheduled for cataract extraction) were enrolled prospectively. Serum UA levels were determined by enzymatic colorimetry; aqueous humor UA levels by Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay.
Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) patients experience visual symptoms and retinal degeneration. Studies using optical coherence tomography (OCT) have shown reduced thickness of the retina in PD, also a key characteristic of glaucoma.
Objective: To identify the presence and pattern of retinal changes in de novo, treatment-naive PD patients compared to healthy controls (HC) and early primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) patients.
