Background: To correlate the findings of optical coherence tomography (OCT) evaluation of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in primary open angle glaucoma, ocular hypertensive and normal eyes.Methods: A 34 consecutive normal, 26 consecutive ocular hypertensives and 40 consecutive glaucomatous eyes underwent a complete ophthalmic examination, including applanation tonometry, disc evaluation, gonioscopy and perimetry. Thickness of the RNFL around the optic disc was determined with 3.4 mm diameter-wide 3D 2000 TOPCON OCT. Average and segmental RNFL thickness values were compared among all groups.Results: Of the 100 eyes enrolled, the mean RNFL thickness was significantly less in glaucomatous eyes (83.165±15.938) than in normal’s (102.42±15.2) and ocular hypertensive’s (100.45±7.38). RNFL, average thicknesses in all four quadrants in POAG patients were significantly decreased compared with the OHT and the control groups.Conclusions: RNFL measurement with SD-OCT could provide important information for detection of early stages of glaucoma. (pre-perimetric glaucoma) as well as help in evaluating progression of glaucoma.

The measurement of retinal nerve fiber layer thickness can help significantly in the early diagnosis of glaucoma and monitoring of its progression. The objective of this study was to compare the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness by optical coherence tomography in primary open angle glaucoma, glaucoma suspects and normal Nepalese population. This was a hospital based cross-sectional study conducted in the Ophthalmology Out Patient Department of Manipal Teaching Hospital, Pokhara. Total 100 numbers of subjects (40 primary open angle glaucoma, 30 glaucoma suspects and 30 normal people) were evaluated. Complete ophthalmological examinations including tonometry, gonioscopy, optical coherence tomography, perimetry were performed. Statistical analysis was carried out using Epi-info 7. The result showed that the average retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness was 70.22±12.07μm in right eye and 69.42±11.53μm in left eye in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), 88.87±10.39μm in right eye and 88.73±9.59μm in left eye in glaucoma suspects (GS) and 94.40±9.21μm in right eye and 94.73±6.76μm in left eye in normal group respectively. The mean RNFL thickness was statistically significant in all three comparison groups except in nasal quadrant. The mean RNFL thickness was statistically significant in two comparison groups except in GS-Normal (nasal and temporal quadrant), GS-POAG (left nasal quadrant) and Normal-POAG (left nasal quadrant). The study concluded that the RNFL thickness is lower in POAG as compared to glaucoma suspects and normal group in the Nepalese population.

AbstrakTujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menilai pengaruh lamanya pemberian citicoline dalam memperbaiki kualitas RNFL dan lapang pandangan pada POAG. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada pasien POAG yang datang dari bulan September 2010 – Januari 2011 dengan tehnik consecutive sampling. Semua subjek penelitian yang sudah diskrining dilakukan pemeriksaan OCT dan perimetri segera sebelum pemberian citicoline, pemeriksaan ulangan dilakukan setelah 10 hari pertama, 10 hari kedua, dan 10 hari ketiga pemberian citicoline. Dari penelitian ini didapatkan perbaikan ketebalan RNFL dengan pemeriksaan OCT lebih banyak terjadi pada pemberian citicoline selama 10 hari III (45.7%) dibandingkan dengan pemberian 10 hari I (25,7%) dan 10 hari II (42,9%). Perbaikan mean sensitivity lapang pandangan dengan pemeriksaan perimetri lebih banyak terjadi pada pemberian citicoline selama 10 hari III (51,4%) dibandingkan dengan pemberian 10 hari I (32.4%) dan 10 hari II (37.2%). Lama pemberian citicoline sangat berpengaruh meningkatkan ketebalan RNFL dengan pemeriksaan OCT dan mean sensitivity lapang pandangan dengan pemeriksaan perimetri pada pasien POAG dan bermakna secara statistik dengan p=0.000 dan p=0.001Kata kunci: Primary Open Angle Glaucoma, Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer, CiticolineAbstractThe objective of this study was to assessing the influence of duration of citicoline administration in improve the quality of RNFL and visual field in POAG. The study was conducted in patients with POAG who take place in September 2010 - January 2011 with consecutive sampling technique. After screening examination, subjects underwent OCT examination and early perimetry after the administration of citicoline, re-examination were in first 10 days, second 10 days, and third 10 days. RNFL thickness by OCT examination were much more going in citicoline administered for the third 10 days (45.7%) compared with the provision of first 10 days (25.7%) and second 10 day (42.9%). Mean sensitivity improvements with visual field perimetry examination occurs more frequently in the administration of citicoline for the third 10 days (51.4%), compared with 10 days of first administration (32.4%) and second 10 days (37.2%). Length of citicoline administration is influencing of RNFL thickness in OCT examination and improvement of the mean sensitivity of perimetry examination in patients with POAG and statistically significant, each with p = 0.000 and p = 0.001.Keywords: Primary Open Angle Glaucoma, Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer, Citicoline
