This study found normal tension glaucoma patients have a significantly higher risk of obstructive sleep apnea, suggesting screening for OSA could be important in NTG management.

Lee Jihei Sara, Bae Hyoung Won, Kim Chan Yun, Lee Sang Yeop

This study found that normal tension glaucoma patients with both choroidal microvascular dropout and high systemic arterial stiffness experienced faster retinal nerve thinning, indicating increased glaucoma progression risk.

This study found higher baseline eye pressure (IOP >19 mmHg) is a risk factor for severe steroid-induced ocular hypertension after dexamethasone implants, warranting clinical vigilance.

Lee Jihei Sara, Park Youngmin, Park Sungeun, Kim Mijeong, Kim Chan Yun, Choi Wungrak et al.

This study found that open-angle glaucoma eyes with inferior microvasculature dropout (MvD) experienced faster inferior nerve fiber layer thinning, particularly with large long-term IOP fluctuations, suggesting location-specific progression risk.

Astrocyte-derived CNTF protects retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) from oxidative stress via PI3K/AKT, JAK/STAT, and MAPK/ERK pathways. This finding suggests CNTF could be a therapeutic target for RGC injury in glaucoma.

This study found long-term IOP fluctuations and disc hemorrhage are independent risk factors for visual field progression in advanced glaucoma, even with low average IOP, necessitating closer monitoring.

Systemic arterial stiffness (PWV) predicts where early glaucoma damage occurs, with higher stiffness linked to initial macular progression, suggesting vascular health impacts disease patterns.

Lee Sang Yeop, Yang Heon, Lee Kwanghyun, Seong Gong Je, Kim Chan Yun, Bae Hyoung Won

This study found that specific clinical factors predict whether normal-tension glaucoma progression starts in the peripapillary nerve fiber layer or macula, suggesting different underlying damage mechanisms.

High pulse wave velocity (arterial stiffness) is linked to reduced macular vessel density in normal-tension glaucoma patients, suggesting systemic vascular health impacts NTG pathogenesis.

Choi Wungrak, Bae Hyoung Won, Shin Hye Jung, Kim Eun Woo, Kim Chan Yun, Kim Min et al.

This study identified patient factors associated with steroid-induced ocular hypertension after intravitreal dexamethasone, developing nomograms to predict risk and define a "safety zone" for treatment.

Park Chan Keum, Lee Kwanghyun, Kim Eun Woo, Kim Sangah, Lee Sang Yeop, Kim Chan Yun et al.

This study found that in glaucoma patients with disc hemorrhage, higher systemic blood pressure was associated with reduced macular vessel density, suggesting increased vascular susceptibility in this subgroup.

Lee Kwanghyun, Yang Heon, Kim Joo Yeon, Seong Gong Je, Kim Chan Yun, Bae Hyoung Won

This study found low systemic blood pressure, not IOP, was a key risk factor for structural progression in normal-tension glaucoma, highlighting the need to monitor hypotension in NTG management.

Kim Eun Woo, Park Hyo Song, Choi Wungrak, Lee Kwanghyun, Lee Sang Yeop, Seong Gong Je et al.

NTG progression patterns varied among subgroups, with young, myopic eyes showing mixed progression. This highlights the need for personalized management in NTG.

Choi Wungrak, Bae Hyoung Won, Choi Eun Young, Kim Minha, Kim Eun Woo, Kim Chan Yun et al.

This study found younger non-paediatric patients (under 51) have a significantly higher risk of steroid-induced ocular hypertension after dexamethasone injections, necessitating caution in this age group.

Lee Sang Yeop, Kim Eun Woo, Choi Wungrak, Park Chan Keum, Kim Sangah, Bae Hyoung Won et al.

In glaucoma patients with prior laser refractive surgery, dynamic contour tonometry (DCT) IOP measurements, unlike Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) or corrected GAT, better predicted glaucoma progression. This suggests DCT is more reliable for monitoring these patients.
