Aim of the study: We
have attempted to determine whether if there is a relationship between four
parameters measured by Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (Rim Volume, Mean Cup Depth,
Maximum Cup Depth, Mean Retinal Fiber Layer Thickness (RNFL) and visual field
indices (Mean Sensitivity (MS), Mean Defect (MD), Loss Variance (LV)).
Material and
Methods: We have evaluated 226 eyes (114 subjects) of primary open angle
glaucoma patients. We have used HRT (Interzeag AG, Switzerland) to determine
visual field indices.
Results:
Correlations between each of four studied HRT parameters and each significant
correlation among all studied subjects between Rim Volume/MS, MD, LV: Mean Cup
Depth/MS, MD, LV: Mean RNFL/MS, MD, LV.
Conclusion: All
studied correlations were statistically significant except correlation between
Mean Cup Depth and MD and between Mean Cup Depth and LV.
