To compare the structure of cognitive deficit in patients with glaucoma, Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VD).
Ninety patients were comprehensively examined and divided into 3 groups of 30 people each: AD group, VD group and open-angle glaucoma group. All patients underwent neurological and neuropsychological examination.
The data on the similarity of the structure of cognitive deficit in patients with AD and glaucoma were obtained. More than half of patients with open-angle glaucoma were newly diagnosed with moderate cognitive impairment.
The results indicate the need for a comprehensive neurological and neuropsychological examination of patients with glaucoma for the early diagnosis of cognitive disorders, timely therapy and an improvement in the prognosis of the disease.
