Novel Markers for Detecting Early Progression of Glaucoma
Sponsor: Balwantray Chauhan
Summary
Current methods of detecting glaucoma and monitoring its progression over time involve visual assessment of the optic nerve, thickness measurements of nerve tissue in the eye (using optical coherence tomography, OCT) as well as functional tests which measure peripheral, or side, vision. The objective of this study is to determine if a new technique of measuring blood flow in the eye, using OCT, can be used to better detect and/or monitor changes in glaucoma patients and suspects than these methods.
