Queen's University, Belfast
Purpose and design: This study will answer the following research questions:
1. What is the prevalence of glaucoma within the NICOLA cohort and which systemic and socioeconomic factors influence its prevalence?
2. What is the diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity and specificity) of Retinal Nerve Fibre Layer (RNFL) thickness measurements in the diagnosis of glaucoma?
3. What is the diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity and specificity) of macular thickness analysis in the diagnosis of glaucoma?
4. What is the agreement between intraocular pressure measurement by Ocular Response Analyser (ORA) and Goldmann tonometry?
5. What is the correlation between structural (circumpapillary RNFL or macular Ganglion Cell Complex thickness) or functional measurements (retinal oximetry or perimetry) and Optical Coherence Tomography angiography parameters (% vessel density and vessel calibre) in the assessment of glaucoma?
