Results

Amyloid-beta concentrations in the aqueous humor of patients with exfoliation glaucoma were particularly high and negatively correlated with retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and the degree of visual field loss.

Baseline Characteristics

90 patients in Control Group (cataract only), 32 patients in Glaucoma Group, 22 patients in Pseudoexfoliation Group, 17 patients in Exfoliation glaucoma Group. The mean ages of each group were 73.21+/-8.24, 74.06+/-6.79, 76.45+/-7.28, and 81.18+/-4.46, respectively.

Participant flow

Patients with no pathology other than cataract, glaucoma, pseudoexfoliation syndrome, and exfoliation glaucoma were included. Patients with systemic conditions such as diabetes mellitus and myopia -6 diopters or higher were excluded. The patients were divided into four groups: 32 patients with glaucoma including primary open-angle glaucoma and normal-tension glaucoma (Group GLA); 22 patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (Group PEX); 17 patients with exfoliation glaucoma (Group Ex G); and 94 patients with cataract only (Group Control). Patients with an image quality factor less than 45 on SS-OCT and a fixation loss of 20% or higher on Humphrey Field Analyzer were excluded from the mean retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and MD values, and correlation analysis.

Adverse events

None

Outcome measures

Amyloid-beta concentrations in the aqueous humor collected during surgery were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Glaucoma was diagnosed using Swept Source Optical Coherence Tomography and Humphrey Field Analyzer, and defined based on the optic nerve and visual field changes. Correlations between Amyloid-beta concentrations, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, and visual field loss were evaluated.
