Choroidal Thickness and its Correlations with Ocular Parameters in Primary Open-angle Glaucoma

Öz:

Objectives: To evaluate the relationships between macular choroidal thickness (mCT) and ocular parameters, such asoptic nerve head (ONH) and multifocal electroretinogram (mf-ERG) parameters, in cases with primary open-angle glaucoma(POAG).Methods: This controlled and prospective clinical trial included 49 patients with POAG diagnosed for the fırst time and47 healthy participants. Macular CTs, ONH and mf-ERG parameters were measured, and the examination findings wererecorded at baseline and follow-ups.Results: In the POAG group, the mean mCT was 254.92±37.65 μm at baseline, and it was 235.6±38.48 μm at 3-monthand was 237.55±37.27 μm at 6-month. In the glaucoma group, there was a significant decrease in the first three monthsdespite the treatment, but no significant change was observed in the next three months. In the healthy group, the meanmCTs were 287.78±26.77 μm, 285.48±25.58 μm and 285.02±27.44 μm at baseline, at 3-month and at 6-month, respectively.No significant change was observed in the control group throughout the process. However, the mean mCT valuesin the glaucoma group were significantly thinner in all controls compared to the healthy group (p<0.05). Furthermore,significant correlations were found between CT and some ONH, as well as mf-ERG parameters.Conclusion: The choroid can play an important role in the pathogenesis of glaucoma. Significant correlations in parameterssupport this relationship. We have observed that the glaucomatous effect initiated first in the inferior quadrant of ONH.
