Panos GD Moschos MM Kozeis N Deshmukh RR Mansouri K Shaarawy T Gatzioufas Z 2017 Purpose To investigate the state of dark adaptation and macular blood flow in different forms of glaucoma. Methods Eighteen eyes of 18 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma, 14 eyes of 14 patients with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma, and 10 eyes of 10 patients with childhood glaucoma (CG) were examined by means of dark adaptometry, scanning-laser retinal flowmetry, and retinal tomography. Results All glaucomatous eyes had comparable optic disc excavation (one-way ANOVA, p = 0.138). Eyes with CG had significantly lower best-corrected visual acuity than the other groups (Tukey, all p < 0.0001). Macular perfusion was comparable in all three groups (one - way ANOVA, p = 0.08). The delay in rod-cone break time in the CG group was significantly higher than in the other groups (Tukey, all p < 0.0001). The scotopic sensitivity threshold in the CG group was significantly greater than in the other groups (Tukey, all p < 0.01). Conclusion This underlying dysfunction of dark adaptation may contribute, at least to some extent, to the decreased visual perception observed in patients with CG. https://sonar.ch/global/documents/45975 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1055/s-0042-119562 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/pmid/28142162 Klinische Monatsblatter fur Augenheilkunde. - 2017 Dark Adaptation Exfoliation Syndrome Female Glaucoma, Open-Angle Humans Male Middle Aged Vision Disorders Visual Acuity Visual Field Tests Visual Fields Dark Adaptation in Patients with Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma, Pseudoexfoliation Glaucoma and Childhood Glaucoma. http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
