This study compared glaucoma structure-function relationships using standard and fundus-tracking perimetry. While overall similar, tracking improved diagnostic ability in damaged eyes, suggesting potential for earlier or more precise detection.

Mid-term study of canaloplasty for open-angle glaucoma showed significant IOP and medication reduction. This promising bleb-less procedure restores natural outflow, offering a viable surgical option.

Corvis-ST showed glaucoma patients have significantly less deformable corneas than healthy subjects, suggesting corneal biomechanics are a potential glaucoma biomarker and influence IOP measurements.

This study found Applanation Resonance Tonometry (ART) repeatable, but less so than Goldmann Applanation Tonometry (GAT), overestimating IOP, especially at higher pressures, with both similarly influenced by corneal thickness.

Pulsar Perimetry showed no significant learning effect. Test-retest variability was low but increased with glaucoma severity, suggesting reliability for monitoring, especially in early disease.

Ibopamine testing revealed that offspring of glaucoma patients, even with normal IOP, show an IOP increase, indicating impaired outflow and glaucoma predisposition.

Canaloplasty success for glaucoma correlated with increased conjunctival microcysts, indicating enhanced aqueous filtration through the sclera and conjunctiva, a mechanism for IOP reduction.

This study developed a GDx staging system classifying retinal nerve fiber layer damage severity and location. It showed high sensitivity/specificity, correlating well with clinical assessment, offering an easy tool for glaucoma diagnosis.

This study evaluated a new optic disc staging system (ODDSS). It demonstrated good accuracy for glaucoma detection, comparable to HRT, offering a promising clinical tool despite fair to good reproducibility.

GDx VCC showed children have thicker RNFL than adults, with age-related thinning. The adult normative database is unsuitable for pediatric glaucoma diagnosis, highlighting the need for child-specific data.

Intravitreal ranibizumab causes a significant, but transient, IOP spike for up to 30 minutes, especially in shorter eyes, highlighting the need for careful post-injection monitoring.

Pulsar perimetry was studied for early glaucoma detection. It performed comparably to FDT, HRT, and GDx, offering a rapid, effective tool for diagnosing early primary open-angle glaucoma.

Rarebit perimetry is a quick visual field test. It shows no learning effect, but blur and cataracts can cause false-positive central field defects, especially in older patients, needing careful interpretation.

This review examined various glaucoma visual field classification methods. While many exist to stage damage and guide treatment, none are widely adopted clinically, highlighting a need for better standardized tools.

FDT SS2, a new system for Humphrey Matrix FDT, accurately stages glaucoma severity and classifies defect types, aiding clinical assessment of functional damage.

This study found ocular hypertensive eyes, despite normal standard tests, show subtle differences in FDT perimetry mean deviation and OCT inferior/superior RNFL thickness ratio compared to normal eyes.

ICare tonometer readings in glaucoma patients largely agree with Goldmann, but central corneal thickness significantly influences ICare results, necessitating pachymetry for accurate interpretation.

This study compared FDT (N-30, Matrix 30-2) and SAP for glaucoma detection. FDT, especially N-30, was more sensitive for early glaucomatous damage, offering earlier detection for at-risk patients.
