Clinical Trial Summary

Open angle glaucoma (OAG) is considered a common cause of irreversible vision loss worldwide. It is an optic neuropathy associated with progressive loss and degeneration of the retinal ganglion cell layer (RGC) and its axons (retinal nerve fiber layer; RNFL), which lead to neuroretinal rim excavation and corresponding visual field defects.

Description:

Open angle glaucoma (OAG) is considered a common cause of irreversible vision loss worldwide. It is an optic neuropathy associated with progressive loss and degeneration of the retinal ganglion cell layer (RGC) and its axons (retinal nerve fiber layer; RNFL), which lead to neuroretinal rim excavation and corresponding visual field defects.

OCT Angiography (OCTA) is a promising tool for diagnosing and monitoring glaucomatous patients. It can evaluate glaucomatous damage and assess the ganglion cells' health by measuring blood flow within the optic nerve and the retina Correlation between vascular , structural and functional changes of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber (RNFL) and macular/ganglion cell complex (GCC) can lead to early detection of glaucomatous changes.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Correlation between vascular, structural and functional changes of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber and macular ganglion cell complex in patients with open angle glaucoma.	Correlation between RNFL thickness and GCC measured by OCT-A with implicit time and amplitude of Photopic Negative Response (PhNR) measured by electroretinogram.	Immediately after OCTA and electroretinogram diagnostic tests for each eye.
Secondary	Assess the validity of OCTA parameters and PhNR in early detection of glaucoma changes.	Changes in the parameters were measured by OCT-A as Superficial and deep vessel Density.	Immediately after OCTA and electroretinogram diagnostic tests for each eye.
