| Sumario: | Purpose<b>:</b> The aim of this study is too correlate the sensitivity and thickness values of intraretinal layers at macula in healthy eyes and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) eyes. Methods<b>:</b> The thickness of different intraretinal segmentations was estimated by means of optical coherence tomography (OCT) Spectralis (Heidelberg, Engineering, Inc., Heidelberg, Germany) with the posterior pole analysis program 8 × 8 in 91 eyes from 91 patients (60 with glaucoma and 31 healthy patients). Macular sensitivity was also measured with an MP-1 microperimeter (Nidek Instruments, Inc Padova, Italy) with a customized, 36-stimulus pattern adjusted to an anatomical correspondence with the OCT grid. Correlations were calculated by using Spearman’s rho and the results were represented in color maps. Results<b>:</b> Significant structure–function correlations were much more frequent in the glaucoma group than in control group. In general terms, associations were positive for inner retinal layers but negative correlations were also found for the inner nuclear layer and outer retinal layer in glaucoma. Conclusions: In general terms, significant structure–function correlations for different intraretinal layers are higher and wider in POAG eyes than in healthy eyes. Inner and outer retinal layers behave differently in terms of the structure–function relationship in POAG as assessed by microperimetry and OCT. |
