This study found lower baseline eye pressure, angle recession, uveitis, and aphakia predict poor laser trabeculoplasty response, guiding patient selection for this glaucoma treatment.

This study found phacoemulsification in glaucoma/OHT patients provided no significant long-term IOP reduction or medication decrease compared to the phakic fellow eye, suggesting limited standalone benefit for IOP control.

This study found glaucoma was three times more prevalent in normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) patients than in other hydrocephalus controls, suggesting a potential link between these neurodegenerative conditions.

This study found optic nerve cup-to-disc ratio is highly heritable and IOP moderately heritable in older adults. Siblings of glaucoma patients had higher IOPs and larger CDRs, highlighting genetic risk.
