Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- The study included subjects over 18 years old who had best corrected visual acuity of 0.5 or better, transparent optic medium, at least two reliable visual field tests, and reliable spectral domain (SD)-OCT (signal strength≥7/10) and EDI-OCT images (signal strength≥6/10)
Exclusion
- Information pertaining to patients' systemic diseases and chronic medication use was recorded. Patients with diabetes mellitus, systemic arterial hypertension, renal failure, hemodialysis history, chronic medication, or smoking habit were not included.
- Patients with retinal and neuro-ophthalmological diseases, amblyopia, active or previous uveitis, previous ocular trauma, intraocular surgery within last 6 months, previous trabeculectomy, or refractive error with a spherical equivalent greater than ±3.0 D were excluded from the study. In order to minimize the effect of IOP on choroidal thickness, patients with IOP higher than 21 mmHg at the time of OCT image acquisition were not included in the study.
