title: [The role of electrooculographic examinations in the glaucoma diagnosis].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the significance of the electrooculography in the diagnosis of glaucoma.
  
  
  METHODS
  We studied 31 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (aged 22-69 years), 29 patients with normal-tension glaucoma (aged 19-77 years) and 22 healthy controls (aged 38-65 years). We performed routine ophthalmological examinations and electrooculography in all patients.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Arden's coefficient results concerning electrooculography were the highest in control group and the lowest in primary open-angle glaucoma group, but the differences were not statistically significant.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Electrooculographic examinations do not seem to be effective for detecting glaucoma.
