    Summary

    Pattern reversal visually evoked potentials (VEP) showed increased P100 latency in patients with primary open angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. This finding aids in diagnosing glaucoma and ocular hypertension using VEP testing.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neuroscience
    • Visual electrophysiology

    Background:

    • Primary open angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension are significant causes of vision loss.
    • Early detection and diagnosis are crucial for managing these conditions.
    • Visual evoked potentials (VEP) are a non-invasive method to assess the visual pathway's function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the diagnostic utility of pattern reversal visually evoked potentials (P-VEP) in differentiating between healthy individuals, patients with ocular hypertension, and those with primary open angle glaucoma.
    • To evaluate the P100 component's latency and amplitude in these distinct groups.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 120 participants was studied, including 60 with primary open angle glaucoma, 30 with isolated ocular hypertension, and 30 healthy controls.
    • Pattern reversal visually evoked potentials (P-VEP) were recorded, focusing on the P100 component's latency and amplitude.
    • A novel methodology for VEP analysis was employed and compared across the three groups.

    Main Results:

    • A statistically significant increase in P100 latency was observed in both the primary open angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension groups compared to healthy controls.
    • No significant differences in P100 amplitude were found between the groups.
    • The new VEP analysis method demonstrated effectiveness in identifying latency changes.

    Conclusions:

    • Elevated P100 latency in pattern reversal visually evoked potentials is a sensitive indicator for detecting visual pathway dysfunction in primary open angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
    • VEP testing, particularly with the presented method, can serve as a valuable tool for early diagnosis and monitoring of glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
    • Further research is warranted to explore the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms contributing to VEP latency changes in these conditions.
