Abstract

Objective: Evaluation of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) progression in glaucoma patients with stable ocular pressure by using Spectral Domain Optical Cohenrence Tomography (SD-OCT). Subject and method: Retrospective, longitudinal study. Primary glaucoma patients have stable intraocular pressure were monitored and treated at the Department of Glaucoma, Vietnam National Institute of Ophthalmology in the period from July 2015 to June 2017. Result: Based on the results of the SD-OCT, 51/77 (66.2%) had progression of glaucoma eyes and 26/77 (33.8%) and glaucoma eyes without progression (33.8%). The average thickness of the layer of fiber research team point decrease over the track, especially after 9 and 12 months (p<0.05). The average thickness of the yarn quadrant above and below show the most visible progress. Conclusion: The OCT scan allows for early detection of changes in the retinal nerve fiber layer in glaucomatous patients.
