Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Retinal sensitivity thresholds, measured by means of perimetry, as a function of ocular aberrations.
Secondary outcome
Change in retinal sensitivity thresholds, measured by means of perimetry, as a function of ocular aberrations before and after clear lens extraction in PAC patients
Other
Corneal aberrations, ocular biometry, ocular scatter, intraocular pressure, visual acuity and refraction. Cases and controls are matched for age and gender; visual field damage and refraction are used for descriptive statistics, to characterize the study population.
Background summary
The impact of optical aberrations on perimetry may be different in healthy eyes than in glaucoma patients. Although the visual loss for the last group is mainly due to the disease, it is important to understand which level of optical quality has an impact on perimetry for these patients and whether this may depend on the type of glaucoma.
Therefore, we propose the current study to further understand these factors. The main study parameter of this research is the relation between optical quality and perimetry in healthy and glaucoma eyes, both PACG and POAG. We intend to include both phakic and pseudophakic patients in each group. This is to cover a wider range of peripheral optical quality because current IOL technology increases peripheral aberrations.
The current study is also aimed to have additional outcome variables. CLE has been suggested as a therapy for PAC. However, there are no reports in the literature of the optical and visual performance of PAC patients after CLE. Therefore, an additional outcome variable is to study the effect of pseudophakia on ocular aberrations and perimetry for PAC patients. We propose to measure PAC patients undergoing CLE before and after the surgery, so that, we can relate how a change in optical quality translates into perimetry for the same subject.
Study objective
To determine the influence of optical quality on perimetry for phakic and pseudophakic healthy and glaucoma patients.
To determine the influence of CLE on perimetry and optical quality for PAC patients.
