Purpose:
To evaluate the significance of the electrooculography in the diagnosis of glaucoma.
Material And Methods:
We studied 31 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (aged 22-69 years), 29 patients with normal-tension glaucoma (aged 19-77 years) and 22 healthy controls (aged 38-65 years). We performed routine ophthalmological examinations and electrooculography in all patients.
Results:
Arden's coefficient results concerning electrooculography were the highest in control group and the lowest in primary open-angle glaucoma group, but the differences were not statistically significant.
Conclusion:
Electrooculographic examinations do not seem to be effective for detecting glaucoma.
