Abstract:
Based on the analysis of the data of a multifocal electroretinography FOK response and the retinal thickness in 38 patients with suspected glaucoma, the paper shows the inhibition of the external retinal biopotential and the lower retinal thickness in the posterior ocular pole. There is a correlation of these changes with light sensitivity alterations, as evidenced by quadrant analysis. It is stressed that monitoring of patients with suspected glaucoma must comprise a morphofunctional assessment using the current techniques.

01:25Glaucoma: Overview
Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...
01:27Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment
In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
