Abstract

Aim- To compare the diagnostic ability of RNFL & GC-IPL parameters in differentiating eyes with preperimetric glaucoma from normals.

Methodology – Prospective longitudinal observational study in a tertiary care hospital. We studied 30 patients & compared them to 30 normal persons .Each patients underwent detailed ocular examination , perimetry, GC-IPL & RNFL analysis.

Result- GC-IPL thicknesses, inferotemporal had the area under the curve (AUC) (0.746) for PPG from normals . When using RNFL, inferior thickness had the highest AUC (0.922) in discriminating POAG from normal, while the same parameter had lower AUC (0.813) in discriminating PPG from normal. The average thickness had maximum AUC (0.775) for discriminating POAG from PPG.

conclusion- Diagnostic abilities of GC-IPL parameters were comparable to RNFL parameters in differentiating PPG patients from normals. The likelihood of ruling in a disease was greater with GC-IPL parameters.
