Diagnosis of glaucoma

Confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy

Confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy is a method for forming and analyzing a three-dimensional topographic image of the optic nerve head in real time.

Scanning laser polarimetry

With scanning laser polarimetry (SLP), the peripapillary thickness of the optic nerve is determined by measuring the total birefringence of the fundus.

Structural studies in glaucoma

Glaucoma parameters are measured by assessing the optic disc excavation, SNV defects, and possibly their thickness ratio at the macula. These parameters are reliable indicators of glaucoma and its progression.

Multifocal electroretinography

Electroretinography objectively establishes retinal dysfunction. With multifocal electroretinography, focal responses are obtained from a large number of retinal areas and topographic maps of areas with impaired function are constructed.

Short-wave automated perimetry

Short-wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP) has a higher sensitivity for diagnosing early stage glaucomatous damage than standard automated perimetry.

Dual frequency perimetry

Dual frequency perimetry (DFP) technology (Welch Allyn, Skaneateles, NY, and Humphrey Systems, Dublin, CA) is used for effective early visual field assessment and detection of glaucomatous visual field changes.

Evaluation of the optic nerve and nerve fiber layer

Glaucoma is a common cause of blindness in all countries and can develop in any age group, but is especially common after 40 years of age. Increased intraocular pressure is the most important causal risk factor for glaucoma, but high intraocular pressure is not necessary for the development of glaucomatous damage.

Ultrasound biomicroscopy in glaucoma

In ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) of the anterior segment, high-frequency transducers (50 MHz) are used to obtain high-resolution images (approximately 50 µm), allowing in vivo imaging of the anterior segment of the eye (penetration depth - 5 mm)

Methods of visualization and diagnosis of glaucoma

It has been established that the goal of glaucoma treatment is to prevent further development of symptomatic vision loss with maximum reduction of side effects or complications after surgical interventions.

Technique of putting drops in the eyes

The drops can be instilled in different ways. The method using two hands. The patient should tilt his head back so that his gaze is directed upward.
