PURPOSE: To assess spatial contrast sensitivity (CS) in suspected primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients.
METHODS: CS was measured using sinusoidal gratings of 4 cycles/degree. First, foveal and peripheral CS were assessed in 34 suspected POAG patients and compared with 71 and 28 age-matched healthy individuals for foveal and peripheral conditions, respectively. Second, foveal CS was assessed in 34 early POAG patients age-matched with suspected POAG patients. Analyses were performed considering two age ranges: Under and Over 50 y.o. Correlations were evaluated between CS and clinical parameters. Diagnostic accuracy was also analyzed.
RESULTS: Peripheral CS was lower in older suspected POAG patients (23.4 ± 16.1) than the control group (39.1 ± 28.2) (p = 0.040). Foveal CS was reduced in suspected POAG participants (Under 50: 146.8 ± 63.3; p = 0.004. Over 50: 110.5 ± 65.0; p = 0.044) and in early POAG patients (Under 50: 141.2 ± 72.6; p = 0.002. Over 50: 80.2 ± 54.5 p < 0.001), both compared to the control group (Under 50: 213.5 ± 66.2. Over 50: 138.6 ± 71.7). CS was lower in early POAG than in POAG suspected in older patients (p = 0.042). Foveal CS was correlated with age (Early: p = 0.001. Suspect: p = 0.002) and with the cup-disc ratio only in early POAG patients (p < 0.001). Foveal CS had fair (AUC = 0.74) diagnostic accuracy for early POAG patients.
CONCLUSIONS: CS in suspected POAG patients is lower than in healthy individuals. Our findings evidence the spatial vision loss before the onset of POAG.
