Optimizing open-angle glaucoma risk assessment in patients with retinal vein occlusions.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate factors associated with the diagnosis of open-angle glaucoma (OAG) after a retinal vein occlusion (RVO).

Design

Retrospective, cross-sectional study.

Methods

Patients diagnosed with OAG after RVO were matched 2:1 with RVO patients without prior glaucoma. Logistic regression identified factors linked to OAG diagnosis.

Results

Of 1178 RVO patients without initial OAG, 51 (4.5%) were later diagnosed with OAG after an average of 5.5 ± 6.1 years. Screening tests for OAG were performed at a higher frequency in patients diagnosed with OAG compared with patients who never received this diagnosis (visual field [VF] testing 21.6% versus 10.8% (P = 0.073) and retinal nerve fiber layer [RNFL] imaging 52.9% versus 27.4% (P = 0.002), respectively).
