Özet
Objectives: To evaluate anatomical and functional changes during follow-up in eyes with glaucoma suspicion. Methods: A total of 56 eyes of 28 patients (F/M: 21/7) who were included. Detailed ophthalmologic examination, optic coherence tomography (OCT) and visual field (VF -SITA 24-2 and 10-2) were performed at the initial and 12th month examination. Retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell complex (GCC) thicknesses, 24-2 VF global indices (MD, PSD), and 10-2 VF superior and inferior hemi-quadrant mean sensitivities (dB) were recorded. The presence of "cluster defect" was noted in both VFs. Results: month. Conclusion: There's not a single parameter that can be used to differentiate glaucoma suspects from early-stage glaucoma. VF, RNFL and GCC should all be evaluated, and longer follow-ups are necessary.
