The early detection of glaucoma is imperative in order to preserve functional vision. Structural and functional methods are utilized to detect and monitor glaucomatous damage and the vision loss it causes. The relationship between these detection measures is complex and differs between individuals, especially in early glaucoma. Using both measures together is advised in order to ensure the highest probability of glaucoma detection, and new testing methods are continuously developed with the goals of earlier disease detection and improvement of disease monitoring. The purpose of this review is to explore the relationship between structural and functional glaucoma detection and discuss important technological advances for early glaucoma detection.
为了保留功能性视力,青光眼的早期检测至关重要。结构和功能方法被用于检测和监测青光眼性损害及其导致的视力丧失。这些检测措施之间的关系很复杂,且因人而异,尤其是在早期青光眼患者中。建议同时使用这两种措施,以确保最高的青光眼检测概率,并且不断开发新的检测方法,目标是更早地检测疾病并改善疾病监测。本综述的目的是探讨青光眼结构和功能检测之间的关系,并讨论早期青光眼检测的重要技术进展。
