title: [Image of optic nerve disc with laser scanning tomography and results of static perimetry in children with juvenile glaucoma].
abstract: The aim of our research was to estimate the correlation between optic nerve head parameters examined with laser scanning ophthalmoscope and results of central, visual field (MD and PSD) in the youth and the evaluation the role of this correlation in juvenile glaucoma early diagnosis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Three groups of patients. Group I consisted of 32 eyes (16 children) with juvenile glaucoma in which trabeculectomy was performed. There were 72 eyes of 32 children with glaucoma juvenile suspect in the group II. Control group (III) contained 20 eyes of 10 children without glaucoma. The age of patients ranged from 9 to 18 years. The mean intraocular pressure was 16 mmHg in the I group, 18 mmHg in the II group and 15.6 mmHg in the III group. Simple Regression Analysis of mean values of biomorphometric parameters of optic nerve head for Mean Defect of central visual field was used in all three groups.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The statistically significant correlation between Vol. B and MD was observed in the I group. There was no such correlation in the II group, but correlation between Av. Sl. and MD was presented. In the III group mean value of MD was the smallest one and correlated with Vol. B. Statistically significant correlation between mean values of PSD and Vol. B was observed in the I and II group, between PSD and Vol. A in group III.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There was the correlation between optic nerve head parameters and mean deviation of retinal sensitivity of central visual field in the youth. This examination can be helpful in early diagnosis of primary juvenile glaucoma.
