Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: We included glaucoma patients with age equal to or above 18; who were already being treated at our clinics; with the minimal visual acuity 20/40 according to the Snellen table
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: The exclusion criteria included an age of fewer than 18-years-old; the demand for surgery during the three-month evaluation period; corneal diseases that interfered with the accurate measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP); retinal diseases that impeded the quality of an optical tomography coherence exam (OCT) and computer perimetry.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| We seek to find a difference in intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction, after 3-month treatment, between 3D and control group, in favor of the 3D group in the average of 1.5 mmHg, from the average of three consecutive measurements in Goldman's tonometer. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| We seek to find significant differences in the measurements of the visual field, pachimetry and optical coherence tomography between both 3D and control groups, in the range of 5% between the groups. We applied a Topcon DRI – Triton for pachimetry and OCT measurements, and Achromatic Perimetry Visual Field Humphrey 2 – 740 central 24-2 White White | — |
