This review highlights that glaucoma patients have greater IOP fluctuations, often outside office hours, and these fluctuations, not just mean IOP, impact progression. Ambulatory IOP monitoring could improve care.

This review found US glaucoma cost-effectiveness studies are unstructured, leading to unclear and conflicting guidance for clinical management decisions.

Topical glaucoma drops alter the ocular surface microbiome, increasing gram-negative bacteria and diversity in both eyes, correlating with dry eye symptoms and inflammation.

Macular OCT and visual field parameters better reflect IOP-related glaucoma progression than conventional measures. Systemic hypertension was not linked to progression in this study, highlighting macular metrics as sensitive endpoints.

This review identified six key bioethical challenges of AI in medicine and ophthalmology, emphasizing the need for multifactorial solutions as AI use expands.

Sun Ashley, Tsamis Emmanouil, Eguia Melvi D, Liebmann Jeffrey M, Blumberg Dana M, Al-Aswad Lama A et al.

This study found global OCT metrics for glaucoma progression have high false positive/negative rates due to scanning errors and missing local damage, questioning their clinical utility.

Late-onset angle closure can occur years after cataract surgery in pseudophakic eyes, potentially due to retained lens fragments or injections, requiring prompt recognition and treatment to prevent vision loss.

Chu Chia-Kai, Liebmann Jeffrey M, Cioffi George A, Blumberg Dana M, Al-Aswad Lama A

This study found early reoperation rates for glaucoma surgery complications were low (2.4%), mainly for bleb leaks or tube issues, indicating overall safety but highlighting specific risks.

A new algorithm for 10-2 visual fields accurately detects glaucoma progression, identifying eyes with faster macular damage. This tool can guide clinical management of central vision loss.

Al-Aswad Lama A, Kapoor Rahul, Chu Chia Kai, Walters Stephen, Gong Dan, Garg Aakriti et al.

A deep learning system (Pegasus) accurately identified glaucoma from fundus photos, outperforming most ophthalmologists and matching expert consensus, showing promise as a valuable screening tool.

This study found excellent structure-function agreement in early glaucoma using automated OCT and both 24-2/10-2 visual fields, suggesting damage correlation is better than commonly perceived for diagnosis and monitoring.

This study compared retrobulbar vs. topical anesthesia for glaucoma surgery. Topical anesthesia required more supplemental sedation and had slightly higher, yet low, pain scores, confirming its feasibility for glaucoma surgery.

Prager Alisa J, Hood Donald C, Liebmann Jeffrey M, De Moraes C Gustavo, Al-Aswad Lama A, Yu Qi et al.

This study found that diffuse macular damage in glaucoma patients, identified by OCT, is a stronger predictor of worse vision-related quality of life than simple thickness measurements, guiding personalized care.

Garg Aakriti, Blumberg Dana M, Al-Aswad Lama A, Oll Maris, Yzer Suzanne, Forbes Max et al.

This study found RPD in early AMD are linked to β-PPA, but choroidal thickness confounds this. Understanding this shared pathway may inform glaucoma and AMD therapies.

Kaplan Richard I, De Moraes C Gustavo, Cioffi George A, Al-Aswad Lama A, Blumberg Dana M

This study found trabeculectomy and tube implants are cost-effective versus medical glaucoma treatment, but trabeculectomy offers better value per quality-adjusted life-year gained.

This study compared Ahmed Glaucoma Valve outcomes when implanted posteriorly (with vitrectomy) versus anteriorly. Both methods achieved similar IOP control and success, but posterior placement reduced early flat anterior chambers.

Salchow Daniel J, Oleynikov Yuri S, Chiang Michael F, Kennedy-Salchow Shana E, Langton Kevin, Tsai James C et al.

This study measured retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in normal children, finding refraction significantly impacts it. This normative data is crucial for detecting early glaucoma or other optic nerve changes in pediatric patients.

Al-Aswad Lama A, Netland Peter A, Bellows A Robert, Ajdelsztajn Taly, Wadhwani Resham A, Ataher Ghada et al.

This study found the double-plate Ahmed Glaucoma Valve effectively lowers eye pressure and medication use with low complications, offering a good option for glaucoma management.
