Abstract

We evaluated association between visual acuity (VA) and macular thickness (MT). All POAG patient aged >40 years included. Cirrus OCT was used to measure MT. POAG grouped as early and advanced. Among 155 patients, 72 where in early POAG stage. The mean age was 63.46 years. Male were 91. Association of BCVA with stage of POAG was found to be statistically highly significant and it was worst in advance POAG. Association of mean MT with stage of POAG was statistically significant and it was less in advance POAG. Range of mean deviation (MD) with stage of POAG was found to be statistically significant. Association of MT with BCVA among overall study was reported to be statistically significant. Association of MD with BCVA among overall study was statistically significant. An inverse correlation between BCVA & MT and BCVA & MD was observed. Level of correlation was mild and strong for MT and MD respectively. Correlation was found to be statistically highly significant.
