PURPOSE: To investigate the differences in the ganglion cell complex (GCC) and macular thickness measurements between primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PXG), and healthy eyes with optical coherence tomography (OCT)optovue.
METHODS: In this non-randomized comparative cross-sectional study, 43 healthy eyes, 68 POAG eyes, and 57 PXG eyes were included. Patients were matched for age and disease severity. OCT angiography images were obtained for automated measurement of the GCC and macular thickness layers (inner and outer).
RESULTS: All GCC parameters were significantly difference between healthy and glaucomatous eyes (mild, and moderate to severe disease).There were no significant differences in GCC parameters between POAG and PXG patients except focal loss volume (FLV) after adjustment. Moderate to severe PXG eyes exhibited significantly lower GCC, larger global loss volume (GLV) values, and FLV values when compared with mild PXG eyes (p<= 0.05). We found significant thinning patterns in inner retinal thickness (fovea, parafovea, and perifovea), and total retinal thickness (parafovea, and perifovea) in moderate to severe PXG eyes when comparing with POAG eyes. Patients with moderate to severe PXG also showed significantly thinning patterns in inner retinal layers (fovea, parafovea and perifovea) and total retinal thickness (nasal parafovea) in compared to mild PXG.
CONCLUSION: It appears that GCC thickness is not significantly different between POAG and PXG except FLV. Despite similar retinal thickness in mild disease, a significant reduction in total and inner retinal thickness was demonstrated in moderate to severe PXG compared to moderate to severe POAG, in fovea, parafovea and perifovea region.
