To Study the Function of the Retina in Glaucoma Patients Using PERG
A Prospective, Longitudinal Study to Evaluate the Function of the Retina and Visual Pathways in Glaucoma Patients Using PERG

Detailed Description
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. It's an optic neuropathy characterized by the progressive death of retinal ganglion cells.
In laboratories, it's possible to measure the electrical activity of retinal ganglion cells (RGC). Some researchers found that RGC showed electrical anomalies before dying. This decrease of electrical activity can be measured by using pattern electroretinography (PERG). Unfortunately, these measures could not be obtained in clinics before this new device.
For this reason, Diopsys developed a new device that can measure PERG directly in clinics, allowing physicians to have these data earlier to help them diagnose pathologies such as glaucoma or other ganglion cells abnormalities.
Currently, it is known that glaucoma is difficult to diagnose in the early stages and it's challenging to decide when to start a treatment.
In this study, our purpose is to use this new device to evaluate its efficacy in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma.

Cohorts and Interventions
Group / Cohort |

Variability of the device
We will study the repeatability and reliability of the Diopsys® ERG Vision Testing Systems in normal non-glaucomatous people and in those with suspicion of glaucoma or confirmed glaucoma.
|
Diagnosis and progression of glaucoma
Patients who have a suspicion of glaucoma and patients with confirmed glaucoma will be included.
PERG data obtained by the Diopsys® ERG Vision Testing Systems will be analyzed to study the PERG changes in different clinical situations, such as early glaucoma and progression of glaucoma.
|
Effect of medical/surgical intervention
Patients will undergo standard treatment based on their medical history and we will observe the PERG changes induced by these treatments (eye drops, laser or surgery) with the Diopsys® ERG Vision Testing Systems.
