Reversal of Lamina Cribrosa Displacement after Intraocular Pressure Reduction in Open-Angle Glaucoma
Purpose:
To compare the change in lamina cribrosa (LC) displacement in response to intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
Design:
Observational case series.
Participants:
One hundred eyes of 100 patients with OAG in whom IOP at the follow-up examination had decreased by at least 20% compared with the baseline IOP.
Methods:
Serial horizontal B-scan images of the optic nerve head (ONH) were obtained from each eye using enhanced depth imaging SD-OCT. Approximately 65 B-scans covering the optic discs were obtained (Read more...)
