Effect of a single session of micropulse laser trabeculoplasty on corneal endothelial parameters
摘要: Background: To evaluate the effect of a single session of micropulse laser trabeculoplasty on the cornea in eyes with primary open-angle glaucoma and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma. Methods: This single-centre, prospective, case series enrolled patients with primary open-angle and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma under treatment with glaucoma agents that required additional intraocular pressure reduction. Eyes underwent 360 degrees treatment with 532 nm micropulse laser trabeculoplasty. Central corneal thickness, endothelial cell count, hexagonal cell ratio and co-ef?cient of variation of endothelial cells were measured before micropulse laser trabeculoplasty and at one, three and six months after treatment. Results: Twenty eyes of 20 patients (mean age 67.6 (cid:1) 8.0 years) with primary open-angle glaucoma and 18 eyes of 18 patients (mean age 71.44 (cid:1) 6.43 years) with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma were included in the study. Treatment with micropulse laser trabeculoplasty resulted in statistically signi?cantly lower intraocular pressure compared to baseline in both primary open-angle and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma eyes (p < 0.0001 at both comparisons). Central corneal thickness, endothelial cell count, hexagonal cell ratio and co-ef?cient of variation of the endothelial cell size showed no signi?cant change between baseline and six months after micropulse laser trabeculoplasty in both primary open-angle and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma eyes. Conclusion: A single session of micropulse laser trabeculoplasty did not affect central corneal thickness and corneal endothelium parameters in eyes with primary open-angle and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma.

Comparison study of OCT, HRT and VF findings among normal controls and patients with pseudoexfoliation, with or without increased IOP
摘要: Purpose: To compare and evaluate optic nerve head (ONH) and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) measurements obtained with the optical coherence tomography (OCT) and the Heidelberg retina tomography (HRT) to visual field (VF) parameters in normal and in patients with pseudoexfoliation with or without increased intraocular pressure (IOP). Methods: A total of 96 subjects were included in our study aged between 65 years and 78 years. The normal group consisted of 28 subjects (14 men and 14 women). Out of the total number of patients, 68 patients who showed pseudoexfoliation (21 men and 47 women) were divided into two groups. Of these, the first group had pseudoexfoliation with increased IOP and the second group showed deposits of pseudoexfoliative material without an increase in IOP. The normal controls were randomly chosen and restricted to those without any glaucomatous optic disc damages, VF defects, and an IOP 15 mmHg. All subjects were prospectively included for repeated measurements of IOP, OCT, HRT, and VFs during the same visit by the same examiner and all measurements were repeated every 3 months. Results: Mean RNFL thickness measured by OCT was larger in the normal controls than in the other two groups (98.04 μm (first group) vs 75.42 μm and 97.02 μm (second group), P0.05). Four-quadrant RNFL thickness measurements were significantly different between the normal and the group 1 (P0.05) but not with the group 2 (P0.05). Rim area had a mean difference of -0.44, whereas cup-to-disc ratio (C/D) showed a mean difference of 0.31, thus being significantly different between the normal and the two groups (all P0.05). The median of the mean deviation parameter of VFs was -0.28 for the normal vs -0.32 and -0.18 for the other two groups, whereas pattern standard deviation median difference was 0.89 for the normal and 1.32 and 1.20 for the other two groups, respectively (P0.05). Conclusion: Both OCT and HRT showed early ONH and RNFL changes in their parameters and did not correlate with the normal findings of the automated perimetry.
