Changes of the Peripapillary Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer After Filtration Surgery in Glaucoma Patients

NCT01422525 · Status: TERMINATED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 12

Last updated 2014-12-02

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

At present, trabeculectomy is the most common performed and effective surgical method of filtration surgery for patients with medically uncontrolled glaucoma.

The aim of this prospective observational case study is to determine changes of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness using spectral domain optical coherence tomography in patients with glaucoma after surgical reduction of intraocular pressure.

Conditions

  • Nerve Fiber Bundle Defect
  • Optic Nerve Diseases

Interventions

PROCEDURE

spectral domain optical coherence tomography

RNFL thickness measurement using spectral domain optical coherence tomography at baseline, 1, 3 and 6 months postoperatively.
