Özet
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of latanoprost on choroidal thickness in patients with newly diagnosed primary open-angle glaucoma using Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography (SS-OCT). METHODS: The retrospective, non-randomized study comprised 40 newly diagnosed primary open-angle glaucoma patients receiving latanoprost therapy (Group 1). Additionally, 40 age-and sex-matched healthy subjects served as the control group (Group 2). Using SS-OCT, measurements of subfoveal, horizontal temporal, and horizontal nasal quadrants choroidal thick-ness, as well as intraocular pressure (IOP) and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness values, were collected at baseline and after 1 month for both groups. RESULTS: The mean age was 39.8±4.15 years (range: 18–45 years) in group 1 and 41.67±7.95 years (range: 18–45 years) in group 2 (p>0.05). The mean choroidal thickness in the subfoveal area, horizontal temporal quadrant, and horizontal nasal quadrant prior to latanoprost therapy were 263.57±84.23 μm, 233.05±80.08 μm, and 219.52±83.28 μm in the group 1 whereas 278.9±93.88 μm, 243.8±73.37 μm and 209.85±92.92 μm in the group 2. After latanoprost therapy, the mean choroidal thickness in the subfoveal area, horizontal temporal quadrant, and horizontal nasal quadrant changed significantly to 299.77±41.29 μm, 269.9±43.80 μm, and 261.32±45.60 μm in the group 1 (p=0.02, p=0.016, and p=0.012, respectively) (Table 1). However, the mean choroidal thickness in the subfoveal area, horizontal temporal quadrant and horizontal nasal quadrant in group 2 changed not significant and was 279.25±103.37 μm, 246.42±87.07 μm and 203.62±106.74 μm, respectively (p=0.4, p=0.5 and p=0.9, respectively). The mean IOP decreased significantly in group 1 (p=0.000) but did not change significantly in group 2 (p=0.153). There was no difference in RNFL thickness values at baseline and 1 st month in group 1 and group 2 (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: Topical latanoprost may increase choroidal thickness. Swept Source-OCT may contribute to our understanding of the actions of latanoprost on choroidal thickness.
