The aim of this research was to estimate the correlation between optic nerve head parameters examined with laser scanning ophthalmoscope and results of central, visual field (MD and PSD) in young persons, and the evaluation the role of this correlation in juvenile glaucoma early diagnosis. MATERIAL: Three groups of patients. Group 1 consisted of 32 eyes (16 children) with juvenile glaucoma in which trabeculectomy was performed. Group 2 included 72 eyes of 32 children with suspected juvenile glaucoma. the control group (Group 3) contained 20 eyes of ten children without glaucoma. The age of patients ranged from nine to 18 years. The mean intraocular pressure was 16 mmHg in the Group 1, 18 mmHg in Group 2, and 15.6 mmHg in Group 3. group. Simple regression analysis of mean values of biomorphometric parameters of the optic nerve head for mean defect of the central visual field was used in all three groups. RESULTS: A statistically significant correlation between Vol. B and MD was observed in Group 1. There was no such correlation in Group 2, but correlation between Av. Sl. and MD was seen. In Group 3, the mean value of MD was the lowest, and was correlated with Vol. B. A statistically significant correlation between mean values of PSD and Vol. B was observed in Groups 1 and 2, and between PSD and Vol. A in Group 3. CONCLUSIONS: There was a correlation between optic nerve head parameters and mean deviation of retinal sensitivity of central visual fields in young persons. This examination could be helpful in early diagnosis of primary juvenile glaucoma. LA: Polish
