ABSTRACT
61 patient was checked-up (113 eyes) with the help of optical coherence tomography for the purpose of determination of the interrelation between thickness of cornea in its optical part and thickness of nerve fibre layer of amphiblestrodes in case of primary open angle glaucoma. The average age of patients was 63,9 +/- 10,4 years. Direct moderate interrelation between parameters of thickness of cornea in its central zone and thickness of nerve fibre layer of amphiblestrodes in its temporal part discus nervi optici (r=0,46 u r=0,26, p<0,05) was determined in patients with suspicion on glaucoma. Direct moderate interrelation between parameters of thickness of cornea in its central zone and thickness of nerve fibre layer of amphiblestrodes in its upper part of discus nervi optici (r=0,35 u r=0,43, p<0,05) is determined in patients with progressive glaucoma. Direct interrelation between parameters of thickness of cornea in its central zone and average thickness of nerve fibre layer of amphiblestrodes (r=0,25, p<0,05) is determined in patients with advanced glaucoma. Determined interrelation of figures proves the possibility of fast progression of glaucomic optic neuropathy in patients with progressive glaucoma.
