[Macular involvement in glaucoma].
OBJECTIVE
To assess the macular structural changes in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) patients.


METHODS
A prospective clinical study, 6 months, two groups of patients--group A--case control--healthy subjects, and group B--POAG patients, divided in B1--early glaucoma and B2--advanced glaucoma. The groups were homogeneous about age and sex distribution. In all patients we have performed Humphrey Visual Field, 24-2 Sita Standard, and macular OCT.


METHODS
other ocular or systemic conditions.


CONCLUSIONS
In POAG group, we found macular changes comparing to the case-control group. Macular assessment in glaucoma is an important element to consider in the future.
