Abstract:
Objective To explore the value of qualitative pattern of isolated-check visual evoked potential ( ic-VEP) in the early diagnosis of primary open-angle glaucoma ( POAG) , and to provide an objective and effective basis for the early diagnosis of clinical glaucoma. Methods Sixty-eight patients (82 eyes) with normal POAG were randomly selected. Forty-seven normal individuals (76 eyes) were as control group. Both groups were treated to analyze ic-VEP,the defect of the visual field, the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer ( RNFLT) , and the mult-ivariate correlation analysis between ic-VEP, the visual field and RNFLT was performed. The sensitivity and speci-ficity of ic-VEP in the diagnosis of POAG was analysis in this study. Results There were no significant differences in age, diopter and central corneal thickness between glaucoma group and normal control group. However, the in-traocular pressure ( IOP) , the visual field, RNFLT and ic-VEP between two groups were statistically different( P＜0.01) . The correlation analysis of ic-VEP Signal-to-noise ratio ( SNR) with diopter, IOP, the visual field and RN-FLT in the glaucoma group showed that ic-VEP SNR was significantly associated with IOP, the visual field and RN-FLT damage(P＜0.01). The sensitivity of ic-VEP to detect POAG was 90.2% and the specificity was 88.2% . Ic-VEP and the visual field, RNFLT had good consistency. Conclusion Ic-VEP has high sensitivity and accuracy in the diagnosis of primary open-angle glaucoma. Meanwhile ic-VEP SNR is associated with the damage of retinal nerve fiber layer and the visual field damage.
