[Clinical value of scanning laser polarimetry in glaucoma diagnostics].

Abstract:

:The term glaucoma is used as a melting pot of many different diseases which have in common that the retinal ganglion cells and their axons are damaged. Untreated, apoptosis can be induced causing ganglion cell death which subsequently leads to typical glaucomatous damage at the optic nerve head, scotomas of the visual fields, and in the worst case scenario to blindness. It is well known that patients with glaucoma can suffer a 20 to 50 % loss of retinal ganglion cells before a defect becomes evident in standard white on white perimetry. To prevent glaucomatous damage, it is important to detect changes of the retinal ganglion cells and their nerve fibre layer as early as possible and to monitor their follow-up as closely as possible in order to find an adequate treatment of glaucoma, and to control its efficiency. In the past few years, scanning laser polarimetry by means of GDx technology (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, USA) could be established as a new method to measure the retinal nerve fibre layer not only qualitatively but even quantitatively. Presently, the GDx plays an important role in actual glaucoma diagnostics on account of its high resolution, the comfort for both patient and user, and its highly reproducible measurements. Especially in difficult evaluable optic nerve heads (e. g., micro- and macrodiscs), tilted discs, and optic disc anomalies (e. g., optic nerve drusen) modern nerve fibre diagnostics by means of GDx technology is a helpful enrichment in clinical routine.

    abstract::Only a small percentage of eyes with massive periretinal proliferation (MPP) can be successfully treated by vitrectomy. This is due to the reproliferation of cells which combine to form membranes, thus causing redetachment of the retina. These filaments and membranes are formed from "fibroblast-like" cells originating...
