Abstract
Objective
To investigate the changes in thickness of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and visual fields following the initial acute attack of acute primary angle closure glaucoma (APACG) within 1 year.
Methods
A prospective cohort study. 30 consecutively recruited patients with APACG were observed (the attacked eye was as the observed eye while the fellow eye as control). At 6 time points (after intraocular pressure controlled for 24 hour, 1 week, 1 month, 3 month, 6 month, 12 month), intraocular pressure (IOP), RNFL thickness and Humphrey perimeter were analyzed.
Results
Compared with the control group, the average RNFL thickness in the observed group were thicker at 24 hour and 1 week (P 0.05). The thickness of averaged RNFL was positively correlated with the MD (P <0.05).
Conclusions
The thickness of the RNFL in patients with APACG is diffusely increasing after the acute attack for the first time, which is gradually thinner with the time going. However,it is stable after IOP con-trolled for 6 months; Perimetric damaged is reversible at the 1 month after IOP controlled and there is no deterioration until the 1 year; For the optic nerve, the injury of morphology is consistent with the function.
Key words:

China Practical Ophthalmology was founded in May 1983. It is supervised by the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China, sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association and China Medical University, and publicly distributed at home and abroad. It is a national-level excellent core academic journal of comprehensive ophthalmology and a series of journals of the Chinese Medical Association.
China Practical Ophthalmology aims to guide and improve the theoretical level and actual clinical diagnosis and treatment ability of frontline ophthalmologists in my country. It is characterized by close integration with clinical practice, and timely publishes academic articles and scientific research results with high practical value to clinicians, so that readers can understand and use them, improve the theoretical level and diagnosis and treatment ability of ophthalmologists, help and support their innovative development, and is deeply welcomed and loved by ophthalmologists and readers.
