Investigating the effects of glaucomatous damage on the multifocal visual evoked potential parameters

Purpose To investigate the effects of glaucomatous damage on the mfVEP parameters of patients suffering from primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Methods Fifteen healthy subjects and 15 patients with unilateral POAG participated in this study. In addition, routine ophthalmological examinations includ...

Description
Summary:Purpose To investigate the effects of glaucomatous damage on the mfVEP parameters of patients suffering from primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Methods Fifteen healthy subjects and 15 patients with unilateral POAG participated in this study. In addition, routine ophthalmological examinations including visual acuity, anterior segment examination, posterior segment examination, intraocular pressure, mfVEP with electrophysiological system, RETI-port/Scan 21, and visual field test with automated Humphrey ZEISS HFA II 750i Perimeter were also performed. Results The results show that there was a strong correlation between the ∆MDs and the number of abnormal points with the ∆amplitudes more than 256 nV, in patients ( n  = 15, r  = 0.802, p
