    Purpose: The present study was performed to assess elasticity changes in the ocular and periocular structures ofpatients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) via sonoelastography.Patients and Methods: Forty-three patients (19 male, 24 female; ranging from 45 to 80, mean age, 63.20 2.31years) diagnosed with POAG were prospectively analyzed. This patient group was compared with a control group of28 individuals (17 male, 11 female; ranging from 40 to 85, mean age, 63.50 1.89 years) who had no eye diseasesapart from refractive errors. Following an ophthalmologic assessment and B-mode sonography, all participantsunderwent semiquantitative sonoelastographic analysis. The elasticity of the retrobulbar fat tissue, optic nerve,lens, and retina–choroid–sclera complex (RCSC) was compared between the two groups via sonoelastography.Student’s t test and the Mann–Whitney U test were used for statistical assessment.Results: There was no significant differences in the degree of elasticity of the ocular and periocular structuresbetween patients with and without POAG.Conclusion: No difference was detected between elasticity levels of ocular and periocular structures in betweenpatients with and without POAG.
