[Oscillatory potentials and ischemic processes in glaucoma].

The paper presents the results of studies made in patients with different stages of primary open-angle glaucoma, by using oscillatory potentials (OP). A significant inverse relationship was established between the OP index and the intraocular pressure; the OPI index was decreased in progressive glaucoma. The findings suggest that neuronal relationships are impaired in the proximal retina in glaucoma due to its ischemic processes.
