ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate the relationship between the spontaneous focal lamina cribrosa (LC) defect and the progression of visual field defect (VFD) in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).Methods:
Case-control study. The patients who were diagnosed as POAG with at least 5 visual field results had been collected from June 2018 to January 2019 at Beijing Tongren Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University. Serial imaging by swept source optical coherence tomography B-Scan of the optic discs were acquired at the end of the follow-up and LC defects status were reviewed. Intraocular pressure, mean defects of visual field, central corneal thickness and axis length were recorded in the follow-up duration. Eyes were classified as having either progressive or nonprogressive VFD, and associating factors were evaluated by χ(2) or Fisher's test, mixed-effect model analysis and multivariate Logistical regression analysis.Results:
A total of 32 subjects (64 eyes) were enrolled in the study with mean age of (47±14) years, the group consisted of 17 males and 15 females. Fourty-five eyes showed nonprogressive VFD. LC defects were more common in eyes without (28/45) rather than with progressive VFD (5/19) (χ(2)=6.896, P=0.009). Eyes with nonprogressive VFD showed longer axis length[(26.82±1.34) mm vs. (25.79±1.44) mm; t=6.589, P=0.013] and wider LC defects diameter[211 (165-326) µm vs. 114 (106-156) µm; Z=4.797, P=0.042]. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that the presence of LC defect was significantly associated with nonprogressive VFD (odds ratio=0.217, P=0.012). There were 7 subjects with asymmetry VFD and the incedence of LC defects without progression (7/7) is higher than fellow eye with progression (1/7, P=0.002). There was only one patient with progressive VFD showed one LC defect with an smaller diameter (169 µm) than that in the contralateral eyes with stable VFD (269 µm).Conclusions:
LC defects are more common in eyes with nonprogressive VFD. Spontaneous LC defects are associated with nonprogressive glaucomatous defects and could be a protective factor for POAG. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2019, 55338-346).Palavras-chave
