Glaucoma Clinical Trial
Official title:
Vitreopapillary Traction and Optic Disc Morphology in Healthy Subjects, Vitreomacular Traction Patients and Glaucoma Patients
The vitreous fills the posterior chamber of the eye and is firmly attached, at the posterior pole, to the macula and the optic nerve head (ONH). With formation of a stepwise posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) exerted tractional forces could influence retinal functioning. Especially in patients with glaucoma the influence of vitreous traction to the ONH could mask progression, interfere with current imaging techniques and even be a cause of ONH hemorrhages. Therefore the aim of this study is to investigate whether vitreopapillary traction has a significant effect on diagnosis and follow up of glaucoma patients.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Prevalence of VPT in glaucoma patients | Percentage of patients diagnosed with glaucoma who have Vitreopapillary traction. | From inclusion up to 17 months | No |
Primary | Change in VPT following trabeculectomy | To investigate whether the sudden decrease in intraocular pressure following trabeculectomy has a significant effect on ONH morphology (mean retinal nerve fiber layer (mRNFL) thickness, cup volume, rim thickness, cup/disc ratio) caused by change in VPT. Patients scheduled for trabeculectomy will have a baseline visit up until 8 weeks before the surgery and 4 post operative visits (day 1, week 1, 2 and 4) | From inclusion up to 17 months with an average follow up of 8 weeks per subject | No |
Primary | Change in VPT following ocriplasmin | To investigate whether the use of Ocriplasmin has a significant effect on ONH morphology (mRNFL thickness, cup volume, rim thickness, cup/disc ratio) caused by change in VPT. Patients scheduled for Ocriplasmin treatment will have a baseline visit 1 week before the surgery and 2 post operative visits (day 1, week 4) | From inclusion up to 17 months with an average follow up of 8 weeks per subject | No |
Secondary | Proportion of patients with VPT that present with optic nerve head hemorrhage | To investigate whether patients with VPT have significantly more chance of ONH hemorrhages than subjects without VPT. Cross-sectional analysis so 1 visit per patient between 11/2014 and 4/2016. | From inclusion up to 17 months | No |
Secondary | Proportion of patients with focal visual field defect that have corresponding focal VPT | To investigate whether a firm vitreous attachment and traction to a certain part of the ONH (focal rim thickness, focal RNFL thickness) could play a role in the formation of anatomically linked visual field defects. Cross-sectional analysis so 1 visit per patient between 11/2014 and 4/2016. Part two of the analysis on patients scheduled for trabeculectomy who will have a baseline visit up until 8 weeks before the surgery and 4 post operative visits (day 1, week 1, 2 and 4) | From inclusion up to 17 months | No |
