This prospective, non-randomized, cross-sectional study conducted at Al-Kadhimiya Teaching Hospital in Baghdad, Iraq, from May to December 2023, assessed the effectiveness of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Visual Field (VF) testing in diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma in 261 eyes of 156 patients. The study excluded patients with other ocular diseases and utilized the OCT Topcon Maestro2 and Octopus 900 VF devices. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software. Results showed no significant differences in age (p=0.58) and gender (p=0.08). Visual acuity results indicated significant differences among eyes (P<0.01), with 64.74% of eyes being OU, 20.51% OD, and 14.74% OS. OCT outcomes categorized eyes as borderline (25.64%), min-effect (39.74%), and max-effect (34.62%) with no significant differences. VF tests revealed 78.85% of eyes as restricted with significant outcome differences. The study concludes that combining OCT and VF testing offers complementary diagnostic information, providing a comprehensive assessment and aiding in the monitoring and management of glaucoma.
