Evaluating visual field changes in glaucoma patients

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to collect data over a 36-month period from patients with glaucoma to assess various methods for defining the progression of the disease. Participants will undergo repeated visits where their retinal functionality will be evaluated using the COMPASS fundus perimeter and the Humphrey Field Analyzer (HFA). Additionally, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) will be performed to gather clinical information about the retinal structure. The study focuses on understanding how different models can effectively track changes in visual fields associated with glaucoma.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

* Glaucomatous optic nerve head in both eyes;
* Age between 40 and 90 years;
* Best Corrected Visual Acuity ≤ 0.3 \[logMar\];
* Spherical refraction between -6D and +6D;
* Astigmatism between -2D and +2D.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Any ocular surgery, except for: uncomplicated cataract surgery and/or glaucoma surgery in both eyes performed within 6 months before enrollment;
* Any ocular pathology that can affect visual field other than glaucoma;
* Use of any drug that can interfere with the correct execution of perimetry or that would produce visual field loss;
* Inability to obtain reliable perimetric examinations;
* Patients with advanced glaucoma for whom, according to the clinician, a 24-2 grid is not advisable to correctly monitor the patient.
