About this study

Official title: Effect of Peripapillary Atrophy Based on Optical Coherence Tomography to Diagnose Primary Open Angle Glaucoma in High Myopia

This study intends to analyze the characteristics between peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and peripapillary area in high myopia with or without glaucoma

Read the detailed description

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world. Myopia is a risk factor for glaucoma. With the rising prevalence of both myopia and glaucoma in an ageing population, the occurrence of these two ocular conditions in the same patient is likely to increase. It was estimated that there were 163 million people who have high myopia in 2000, and the population with high myopia would increase to almost one billion (9.8% of the world population) worldwide by 2050.

There is often a diagnostic challenge to the clinician, since the detection of glaucomatous optic nerve damage in highly myopic eyes is difficult. Recently, the subclassification of peripapillary area could potentially be used to differentiate myopic eyes with and without glaucoma according to OCT findings.

However, the characteristics of peripapillary atrophy have not been fully applied in the diagnosis of high myopia and glaucoma.

In view of the above problems, the purpose of this study is to analyze the peripapillary area based on optical coherence tomography and it may be a specific marker for identifying high myopia with primary open angle glaucoma.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evaluation of circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness changes within 12 months

    The circle with a diameter of 3.46 mm is scanned by Spectralis OCT instrument with the optic disc as the center and the RNFL thickness was calculated by built-in software.

    Measured: 1 years

  2. Evaluation of the area of the peripapillary area changes within 12 months

    The results of Spectralis OCT instrument are exported, and used Image J or Spectralis OCT built-in software package to manually locate and measure the area of the temporal parapapillary area

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Evaluation of the width of the peripapillary area changes within 12 months

    The results of Spectralis OCT instrument are exported, and used Image J or Spectralis OCT built-in software package to manually locate and measure the width of the temporal parapapillary area

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Demographic characteristics

    Including but not limited to gender, age, duration of illness

    Measured: 1 day of enrollment

  2. blood pressure

    Demographic characteristics

    Measured: 1 day of enrollment

  3. BMI

    weight (lb) / [height (in)]2

    Measured: 1 day of enrollment

  4. Best corrected visual acuity

    Best corrected visual acuity after refractive error correction using the ETDRS chart

    Measured: 1 day of enrollment

  5. Evaluation of the intraocular pressure changes within 12 mouths

    IOP is measured by goldmann tonometer.

    Measured: 1 year

  6. Evaluation of the visual field changes within 12 mouths

    Assess the degree of visual function damage

    Measured: 1 year

  7. Axial length

    axial length is measured using A-type ultrasound.

    Measured: 1 day of enrollment

  8. Evaluation of the fundus changes within 12 months

    Fundus photography uses kowa fundus camera

    Measured: 1 year

  9. Ocular anterior segment structure

    The ocular anterior segment structure uses lit-lamp biomicroscope

    Measured: 1 day of enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myopia and Refractive Errors, run by Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
