Effect of treatment with carteolol and latanoprost in newly diagnosed primary open-angle glaucoma on peripapillary vessel density.

Background And Aim: In a previous follow-up of glaucoma patients taking carteolol or latanoprost, we found a greater progression of visual field changes with the prostaglandin than the betablocker. In the present study we compared the impact of carteolol and latanoprost on peripapillary vessel density in newly diagnosed primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients.

Methods: The study consisted of two groups of POAG patients.

Peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer following vessel density correction at different IOP values.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to define the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in the peripapillary region of the retina after adjusting for the effect of vessel density (VD) in patients with pathological intraocular pressure (IOP).

Patients And Methods: 69 patients (122 eyes) with IOP >21 mmHg (range 21-36 mmHg, mean 23.65±2.

Distal Nasal Part of the Visual Field and RNFL in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare changes in the conventionally undiagnosed distal nasal visual field with RNFL in patients with early primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).

Material And Methods: 59 eyes of 32 patients (18 women, 14 men) with early stage POAG were included. All eyes were found to have a normal visual field (fast threshold program of 50 degrees nasally and 22 degrees temporally) with the Medmont M700.

The Far Nasal Part of the Field of Vision - Part II. Contribution to the Timely Diagnosis of Glaucoma.

Aim: The aim of this study was to examine possible changes in the conventionally undiagnosed nasal visual field in patients diagnosed with early primary open angle glaucoma.

Material And Methods: Examination of the far nasal part of the visual field was performed in 30 patients (60 eyes) with early stage of primary open angle glaucoma (preperimetric stage of changes). The cohort consisted of 16 women (mean age 46.

The Far Nasal Part of the Visual Field - Part I.

Aims: The aim of the study was to determine the limits of the far nasal part of the visual field.

Material And Methods: Visual field examination was performed in 15 healthy subjects (30 eyes), specifically nine women aged 20-43 years and six men aged 22-35 years. All eyes were found to have physiological ocular findings and visual acuity of 1.
