This study designs a community-based screening program for glaucoma and other eye diseases in vulnerable populations, aiming to improve detection and follow-up care for those least likely to seek it.

Ophthalmologists' beliefs about SLT for glaucoma were studied; education significantly increased their acceptance of SLT as a first-line treatment. This suggests targeted education can boost SLT adoption.

This study found that adding IOP measurements to telemedicine glaucoma screening in high-risk patients significantly improved the detection of glaucoma and related conditions, advocating for their routine inclusion.

Telemedicine glaucoma screening showed high agreement (86%) with comprehensive eye exams, confirming its potential for identifying at-risk individuals for referral, especially for suspicious optic nerves.

Hark Lisa A, Myers Jonathan S, Rahmatnejad Kamran, Wang Qianqian, Zhan Tingting, Hegarty Sarah E et al.

This study found older age, male sex, smoking, and worse vision predict unreadable telemedicine glaucoma images. Importantly, 65% of these unreadable cases had ocular pathology, warranting follow-up exams.

This 4-year glaucoma study found left upper visual field contrast sensitivity strongly correlates with inferior RNFL thickness, suggesting CS could help predict structural changes and monitor disease progression.

Hark Lisa A, Leiby Benjamin E, Waisbourd Michael, Myers Jonathan S, Fudemberg Scott J, Mantravadi Anand V et al.

This study found 61.2% adherence to free community-based glaucoma follow-up exams. Adherence was higher for glaucoma patients, males, and those needing medication, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to improve follow-up.

This study found steady-state pattern electroretinogram (ssPERG) effectively distinguished glaucomatous from healthy eyes, showing promise as a clinical diagnostic tool, unlike short-duration visual evoked potentials.

Bilateral, same-day LPI in a community project was well-tolerated with no serious complications, suggesting it's a safe, cost-effective option for patients with limited eye care access.

Glaucoma patients and caregivers showed high interest in a free app for education and reminders, suggesting digital tools can improve knowledge and adherence if readily accessible.

Hand-held optic disc photos showed moderate reproducibility and diagnostic value for glaucoma, but image quality issues (small pupils, cataracts) limited their utility in a community setting.

Trabeculectomy outcomes in patients over 80 were similar to younger controls. Age alone shouldn't preclude this glaucoma surgery, considering overall health and life expectancy.

Central visual field defects in the better eye and inferior defects in both eyes significantly impact daily activity performance and vision-related quality of life in glaucoma patients.

Ekici Feyzahan, Loh Rebecca, Waisbourd Michael, Sun Yi, Martinez Patricia, Nayak Natasha et al.

This study found contrast sensitivity and visual field loss correlate best with objective vision performance and quality of life in glaucoma patients, suggesting contrast sensitivity testing is crucial for assessing patient well-being.
