Reversible Structural and Functional Changes After Intraocular Pressure Reduction in Patients With Glaucoma
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Visual evoked potential (VEP), and 1 other intervention for Glaucoma. Completed, enrolled 61 participants.
Detailed Summary
The aim of this study was to evaluate structural and functional improvement after lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma using Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT), Visual Field (VF) testing, and Visual Evoked Potential (VEP).
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a machine that scans eyes and has the capability of measuring thickness of various layers of the retina and nerve fiber layer (NFL).
Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) is an imaging system that measures electrical activity from the eye to the brain by using electrodes placed on forehead and back of the head similar to electroencephalogram (EEG).
Humphrey Visual Field (HVF) is a test done to evaluate how much peripheral (side) vision has been lost due to glaucoma.
