The Characteristics of Interaction between Color and Motion Perception in PrimaryOpen Angle Glaucoma

Purpose: To investigate the characteristics of interaction between color and motion perception in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and measure motion perception of B,G and R cones, thus find a more sensitive method to diagnose the visual nerve damage in POAG. Methods : Motion perceptions of B,G and R cones were isolated by blue , green and red vertical line stimulus displayed on the yellow , purple and blue background respectively, then measured the displacement threshold and flicking threshold of motion perception from each cones in POAG, and compared it with the age-match normals.Results:The displacement threshold and flicking threshold of motion perception from B,G and R cones were all damaged in POAG compared with the normals, and the motion perception of G and B cones was deficits more obviously than the R cones.Conclusion: These findings support the suggestion that color provides an input to human motion perception. Magnocellular and parvocellular pathway may be significandy damaged in POAG,

Motion Perception of Short-Wavelength Sensitive Cones in Glaucoma Using Random Dots Moving

Purpose: To determine whether motion perception of short-wavelength sensitive(SWS)cones is capable of predicting primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) optic neuropathy.Methods: Motion perceptions of SWS cones were isolated by Blue random dot stimulusdisplayed on the Yellow background, then the detecting displacement threshold of motionperception from SWS cone in POAG was measured, and compared with the age-matchednormal group.Results: The detecting displacement thresholds of motion perception from SWS cones in8 sites of 15 degrees were all elevated in POAG compared with the normal group.Conclusion: These findings suggest that motion perception of SWS cones may revealpreclinical visual nerve damage in early POAG.

A Study of Motion Perception in Primary Open Angle Glaucoma

Purpose: To study the features of the motion perception (MP) and explore the worth of the clinical application of MP test in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG).Methods: MPs were recorded from 41 patients (67 eyes) with POAG ang 56 normal subjects (112 eyes) by the MP software in PC compatible computer. Meanwhile , the MP ways and MP sites were analyzed and MP abnormal rate was compared to the clinical parameters and the visual function indices related to glaucoma. . Results: The results showed that the total abnormal rate of MP was 89. 5% in POAG, and the abnormal rate was 81. 6% in early stage of POAG, and MP abnormal degree had positive correlation with C/D, ocular tension and corrected loss variance (CLV), and negative correlation with visual acuity and mean sensitivity (MS), and no correlation with age and short-term fluctuation (SF) in the patients with POAG.Concusion: These results suggest that the MP test provides a newly effctive examination method in diagnosing the early POAG.
