This study found HRT parameters had limited sensitivity/specificity for glaucoma progression confirmed by disc photos, indicating they shouldn't be relied on solely for detecting optic nerve head changes.

This study compared glaucoma diagnostic tools, finding retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) scoring best. Combining cup shape, RNFL thickness, and blue-on-yellow visual field data effectively discriminated glaucoma, aiding clinical diagnosis.

This study developed a flexible HRT reference plane, finding it automatically determines optic disc parameters by accounting for individual variability, improving glaucoma assessment but requiring accurate disc border outlining.

This pilot studied digital RNFL imaging and microtexture analysis, finding higher KID values in glaucoma patients, suggesting potential for early detection despite small sample size limitations.

Teesalu P, Airaksinen P J, Tuulonen A

This study found blue-on-yellow visual fields and RNFL assessment correlate well, detecting early glaucoma damage often missed by standard white-on-white perimetry, aiding earlier diagnosis and monitoring.

Burk R O, Tuulonen A, Airaksinen P J

Laser scanning tomography detected localized RNFL defects, showing variable surface depression and reflectivity; some defects exist without standard visual field loss, aiding early glaucoma detection.

Teesalu P, Vihanninjoki K, Airaksinen P J, Tuulonen A

This study found blue-on-yellow visual fields correlate well with optic nerve head topography. B/Y perimetry identified more early glaucoma cases than white-on-white, suggesting its utility for earlier disease detection.

Teesalu P, Vihanninjoki K, Airaksinen P J, Tuulonen A, Läärä E

This study found blue-on-yellow visual fields correlate well with optic nerve damage, often better than white-on-white fields, especially in early glaucoma, aiding earlier detection.

Teesalu P, Airaksinen P J, Tuulonen A, Nieminen H, Alanko H

This study found lens fluorometry more precisely corrects blue-on-yellow perimetry results than age alone, improving glaucoma diagnosis by better accounting for lens yellowing.

RNFL polarimetry, measuring light's phase shift (retardation), linearly correlates with histopathologic thickness. This objective method shows promise for glaucoma diagnosis, but requires further validation.

Tuulonen A, Jonas J B, Välimäki S, Alanko H I, Airaksinen P J

This study found that while zone beta peripapillary atrophy measurements were reproducible, they held limited clinical usefulness for recognizing or tracking glaucoma progression.

Tuulonen A, Risteli J, Risteli L, Välimäki J, Airaksinen P J

This pilot study found re-operated glaucoma eyes have significantly higher aqueous humor collagen synthesis markers, suggesting these markers could guide pharmacological wound healing modulation in glaucoma surgery.

Tuulonen A, Lehtola J, Airaksinen P J

This study found that patients with normal optic discs and routine visual fields can have nerve fiber layer defects and corresponding central field loss, highlighting the need for nerve fiber imaging for early glaucoma detection.

Tuulonen A, Airaksinen P J

This study found initial glaucoma damage in ocular hypertensive patients varied (diffuse cupping or generalized RNFL thinning) and progressed unpredictably, highlighting diverse disease presentation.

Lachenmayr B J, Airaksinen P J, Drance S M, Wijsman K

In glaucoma, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) loss correlated well with visual field tests, particularly flicker perimetry, but optic nerve rim area did not. Flicker perimetry shows promise for glaucoma assessment.

This study found timolol-pilocarpine combinations significantly reduced and maintained IOP better than pilocarpine alone, offering improved 12-hour pressure control for glaucoma patients.

Drance S M, Douglas G R, Airaksinen P J, Schulzer M, Hitchings R A

This study found open-angle glaucoma causes twice the diffuse visual field loss in the "spared" hemifield compared to low-tension glaucoma, aiding in differential diagnosis and prognosis.

Drance S M, Airaksinen P J, Price M, Schulzer M, Douglas G R, Tansley B

Studying multiple tests, vertical cup-disc ratio and nerve fiber layer scores best identified early glaucoma, offering a robust diagnostic approach.

Drance S M, Airaksinen P J, Price M, Schulzer M, Douglas G R, Tansley B W

This study found diffuse optic nerve/retinal changes correlate with diffuse visual loss, while localized changes relate to localized visual field defects, helping link structural damage to functional impact in glaucoma.

Airaksinen P J, Lakowski R, Drance S M, Price M

This study found that yellow-blue and green-blue color vision deficits correlate with diffuse, but not localized, retinal nerve fiber loss in early glaucoma, suggesting a potential diagnostic marker.

Airaksinen P J, Nieminen H

Retinal nerve fiber layer photography is useful for early glaucoma detection and follow-up, offering a practical method to monitor disease progression.

Tuulonen A, Airaksinen P J, Kuulasmaa K

This study found that primary laser trabeculoplasty, lower initial IOP, capsular glaucoma, no pilocarpine, and operator experience predict better treatment success.

Airaksinen P J, Drance S M, Douglas G R, Schulzer M

This study found optic disc rim area strongly correlates with visual field loss in glaucoma, especially overall sensitivity, highlighting its importance for monitoring disease progression.

Airaksinen P J, Drance S M, Schulzer M

This study found neuroretinal rim area measurements significantly differentiate normal eyes from glaucoma suspects and glaucoma patients, highlighting its clinical utility for early glaucoma detection.
