Evaluation of Rate of Progression With Perimetry in Newly Diagnosed Open Angle Glaucoma
- Conditions
- Glaucoma, Open-AngleOcular Hypertension
- Registration Number
- NCT02379208
- Lead Sponsor
- Turku University Hospital
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate rate of progression in newly diagnosed open angle glaucoma with different types of perimetry. Would it be possible to find the rapidly progressing individuals sooner by doing perimetry more often? Is there a difference between different types of perimetry in early glaucoma? What would be the optimal timing of perimetry in newly diagnosed glaucoma? In addition the quality of life in glaucoma patients will be evaluated with two types of questionnaires in three different time points. The enrolled patients will receive appropriate treatment according to glaucoma management guidelines.
