AIM:To investigate macular microperimetry in patients with early primary open angle glaucoma(POAG)using a new custom-made pattern,and analyze the characteristics of macular sensitivity.METHODS:This case-control study ...AIM:To investigate macular microperimetry in patients with early primary open angle glaucoma(POAG)using a new custom-made pattern,and analyze the characteristics of macular sensitivity.METHODS:This case-control study included 38 patients with POAG,who were divided into pre-perimetric glaucoma(18 eyes of 18 patients),early-stage(20 eyes of 20 patients),and control(20 eyes of 20 patients)groups.All subjects underwent standard 24-2 humphrey visual field test.An MP-3 microperimeter with a new custom-made pattern(28 testing points distributed in four quadrants,covering the central 10°of the retina)was used to evaluate macular sensitivity.Ganglion cell complex(GCC)thicknesses were examined using an RS-3000 Advance OCT system.The features of structure and function were analysed per quadrant.RESULTS:The pre-perimetric glaucoma group had significantly lower inferior hemifield macular sensitivity compared to controls(P<0.05).The early-stage POAG group had significantly lower average,inferior hemifield,inferonasal,and inferotemporal mean sensitivities compared to the pre-perimetric glaucoma group(P<0.05),and lower macular sensitivity in all sectors compared to controls(P<0.05).Regarding GCC thickness,all sectors in the early-stage POAG group became thinner compared to those in controls(P<0.05);whereas all sectors in the early-stage POAG group,except the superonasal quadrant,became thinner compared to those in the pre-perimetric glaucoma group(P<0.05).Macular sensitivity and GCC thickness were significantly associated in each sector.The inferotemporal quadrant had the highest correlation coefficients(0.840).The structure-function relationship for the inferonasal and inferotemporal sectors was stronger compared to the corresponding superior sectors.CONCLUSION:Microperimetry reveals variations in macular sensitivity in patients with early glaucoma earlier than conventional perimetry,particularly in pre-perimetric glaucoma cases in which it might be undetectable by conventional methods.The new custom-made pattern may improve the accuracy of microperimetry by enhancing point arrangement and reducing fatigue effects.Macular sensitivity measured by MP-3 with this pattern shows statistically significant structural and functional associations with the thicknesses of the GCC.展开更多

The main outcomes included the best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), light-adaptive electroretinography, macular hole(MH) closure rate, central macular thickness(CMT), retinal nerve fiber layer(RNFL) and ganglion cell complex(GCC) thickness [nine regions based on the Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study(ETDRS) ring] before and 1, 3, and 6mo after surgery.RESULTS: The closure rate was 94.4%(17/18) both in groups A and B. The BCVA in both groups improved significantly compared with the preoperative values, but there was no difference between the two groups. The b-wave amplitude of the electroretinogram analysis was significantly improved in both groups compared to that of the preoperative period, with a greater increase in group A than in group B at 6mo(P=0.017). The CMT in both groups gradually decreased after surgery, and there was no difference between the two groups. The RNFL thickness of the temporal outer ring region in group B was significantly lower than that in group A at 3 and 6mo after surgery(P=0.010, 0.032). The GCC thickness of the temporal outer ring region in group B was significantly lower than that in group A at 6mo after surgery(P=0.038).CONCLUSION: Enlarging the extent of ILM peeling doesn’t affect the IMH closure rate and visual acuity recovery, but the greater the extent of peeling, the greater the damage to the inner retinal structures.展开更多

文摘目的应用三维光学相干断层扫描(optical coherence tomography,OCT)测量原发性开角型青光眼(primary open angle glaucoma,POAG)患者的黄斑区各部位神经节细胞复合体(macular ganglion cell complex,m GCC)厚度,评价其在POAG诊断中的意义。方法选取早期POAG患者30例(30眼),中晚期POAG患者30例(30眼),以正常人30例(30眼)作为对照,应用Topcon 3D OCT-2000测量并记录所有受试者的视盘周围各部位视网膜神经纤维层(peripapillary retinal never fiber layer,pRNFL)和m GCC[包括黄斑区视网膜神经纤维层(macular retinal never fiber layer,mRNFL)、黄斑区神经节细胞层+内丛状层(ganglion cell layer with the inner plexiform layer,GCIP)、神经节细胞复合体(ganglion cell complex,GCC)]厚度,并对所有数据进行统计分析,应用受试者工作特征曲线下面积(area under the receiver operating characteristic curve,AUROC)评价各参数对POAG的诊断效力。结果早期、中晚期POAG患者各部位的pRNFL厚度及m GCC厚度值随着青光眼的严重程度逐渐变薄。早期POAG患者与正常人相比,除了mRNFL厚度和部分pRNFL厚度(鼻侧和颞侧)参数差异无统计学意义(均为P>0.05)外,其余的各项参数间差异均有统计学意义(均为P<0.05)。中晚期POAG患者与正常人相比、早期POAG患者与中晚期POAG患者相比,各项参数间差异均有统计学意义(均为P<0.05)。早期POAG患者mRNFL、GCIP、GCC、pRNFL平均值的AUROC值分别为0.641、0.731、0.724、0.775;中晚期为0.931、0.830、0.915、0.947。早期POAG患者mRNFL、GCIP、GCC最小值的AUROC值分别为0.674、0.746、0.732,中晚期为0.942、0.841、0.928,均高于其平均值的AUROC值。除了鼻侧及颞侧pRNFL厚度参数外,其余各项参数均能有效地诊断POAG,差异均有统计学意义(均为P<0.05)。结论 mGCC厚度参数与pRNFL厚度参数对POAG的诊断效力相当,可作为POAG诊断的一个新指标。
