This 8-year study found combined phaco-ELT safely and effectively lowers intraocular pressure and medication use long-term in glaucoma patients, reducing the need for further surgeries.

This study found SD-OCT provides more repeatable retinal nerve fiber layer measurements than TD-OCT, especially in glaucoma patients, improving diagnostic and monitoring precision.

Spectralis OCT's eye-tracker and retest software significantly improve RNFL thickness measurement reproducibility, especially in glaucoma. This enhances monitoring and diagnostic accuracy.

AS-OCT showed filtering bleb internal reflectivity strongly correlated with intraocular pressure after trabeculectomy. This offers a non-invasive way to assess bleb function and surgical success.

This study compared a new hand-held tonometer (HH-DCT) to existing devices, finding HH-DCT measured higher IOP but provided more consistent readings, suggesting potential for reliable glaucoma screening.

A study comparing handheld and slit-lamp dynamic contour tonometers found strong agreement in IOP and OPA measurements. The handheld device is a valuable clinical alternative.

This study found 3D-OCT retinal nerve fiber layer measurements are highly reproducible in healthy eyes, making this advanced imaging technique valuable for monitoring glaucoma and other optic neuropathies.

Herdener Sonja, Pache Mona, Lautebach Sonja, Funk Jens

This study found that significant differences between DCT and GAT IOP measurements are reproducible and present in both eyes, suggesting corneal biomechanics, not chance, cause these discrepancies.

This study found Pattern ERG can predict glaucoma conversion in ocular hypertension patients up to a year before visual field changes, helping identify those needing early treatment.

Maier Philip, Funk Jens

This study found the Retinal Thickness Analyser (RTA) had unsatisfactory diagnostic accuracy for glaucoma and macular diseases when used without clinical information, limiting its standalone utility.

Wilmsmeyer Sonja, Philippin Heiko, Funk Jens

Excimer laser trabeculotomy (ELT) was studied for glaucoma. It effectively lowered IOP and reduced medication, especially combined with cataract surgery, offering a promising, minimally invasive treatment for 1-2 years.

This 10-year study tracked optic disc changes in ocular hypertension. HRT detected progressive changes, particularly with sectoral analysis and cup shape measure, but only in a small proportion of eyes that developed glaucoma.

Pache Mona, Wilmsmeyer Sonja, Lautebach Sonja, Funk Jens

This study compared DCT and GAT for IOP measurement. DCT readings were slightly higher but reliably agreed with GAT in normal corneas, suggesting DCT is a suitable alternative for clinical use.

This study found endoscopic laser goniotomy combined with cataract surgery effectively lowers IOP with fewer complications than trabeculectomy, offering a promising alternative for co-existing cataract and glaucoma.

This meta-analysis found that lowering eye pressure significantly prevents glaucoma development in ocular hypertension and slows vision loss in open-angle glaucoma, confirming its clinical benefit.

Feltgen Nicolas, Mueller Heiko, Ott Beat, Frenz Martin, Funk Jens

Combining endoscopic Er:YAG laser goniopuncture with cataract surgery significantly lowered eye pressure and medication needs in glaucoma patients, proving a safe, effective adjunct.

Funk Jens, Mueller Heiko

This study found that HRT structural changes fluctuate similarly to visual field functional changes over time. Therefore, HRT changes also require confirmation before guiding glaucoma treatment.

Feltgen Nicolas, Mueller Heiko, Ott Beat, Frenz Martin, Funk Jens

This study compared Er:YAG goniopuncture with trabeculectomy, both combined with cataract surgery. Both lowered IOP similarly, but goniopuncture had fewer complications, suggesting it may be a superior initial approach.
