Early bleb characteristics (taller, thicker walls, "striping") seen on 3D AS-OCT at 2 weeks predict successful IOP control one year after trabeculectomy, offering a prognostic tool for glaucoma management.

This study found a strong correlation between macular visual field sensitivity and ganglion cell layer thickness, especially in the inferotemporal region. This reinforces OCT's value for detecting glaucoma damage.

This study found normal-tension glaucoma patients have thinner choroids (nasal to fovea), which correlates with faster visual field progression, suggesting choroidal abnormalities may contribute to disease.

This study compared ONH measurements from HRT3 and Cirrus HD-OCT, finding poor agreement for most parameters except cup-to-disc ratio, meaning measurements aren't interchangeable.

This study compared two OCT types (Stratus, Cirrus) for measuring retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in glaucoma. Both correlated well with visual field defects, showing comparable clinical utility for monitoring glaucoma.

This study compared ICare and NCT for measuring IOP in healthy children, finding ICare better tolerated, especially under age 6, making it preferable for pediatric eye exams.

This study found that post-trabeculectomy bleb appearance on OCT (cystoid, diffuse, layer types) significantly correlates with surgical success rates, with cystoid/diffuse blebs performing best.

Trabeculectomy significantly reduced both sitting intraocular pressure and the magnitude of IOP increase when changing from sitting to supine, suggesting improved pressure stability for glaucoma patients.

This study found secondary glaucoma, excessive filtration, and no laser suturolysis increase avascular bleb risk after trabeculectomy. Identifying these factors can help optimize surgical outcomes.

This study found that while OCT-measured nerve fiber loss correlates with retinal sensitivity in glaucoma, significant sensitivity reduction only appears after severe nerve fiber atrophy.

This study suggests ACE inhibitors may slow visual field progression in normal-tension glaucoma patients, offering a potential neuroprotective strategy.

D-allose protected rat retinal neurons from ischemia-reperfusion injury by reducing glutamate and oxidative stress, suggesting its potential as a neuroprotective agent for glaucoma.
