Latanoprostene bunod significantly lowered IOP in pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (-16.7%) more than POAG (-9.9%) or NVG (-1.4%). This suggests LBN's dual mechanism is highly effective in PXFG, potentially delaying surgery in this challenging patient group.

Most NTG eyes post-DH show significant, often nonlinear RNFL thinning. Aggressive IOP lowering is crucial for stabilization, with greater IOP reduction linked to decelerated progression, emphasizing individualized management.

In myopic POAG with γ-zone, microvascular dropout in the lamina cribrosa (MvD-LC) correlates with advanced glaucoma damage. Larger MvD-LC is an independent biomarker for severe disease progression, highlighting its clinical utility.

This study found 22.5% of untreated myopic NTG patients progressed within two years. Higher IOP and family history increased risk, suggesting early treatment for high-risk myopic NTG, even with seemingly stable IOP.

This study found that microvasculature dropout in the lamina cribrosa (MvD-LC) in glaucoma is linked to thinner lamina cribrosa and higher pretreatment IOP, suggesting different clinical implications than peripapillary choroid MvD.

This study found choroidal microvasculature dropout accelerates nerve fiber thinning in glaucoma patients with β-zones, but not γ-zones, highlighting structure-dependent risk for progression.

This study found macular blood vessel density, particularly superficial, correlates better with central vision loss than nerve cell thickness in glaucoma, suggesting its early involvement.

This study found choroidal microvasculature dropout (CMvD) occurs in glaucoma even without parapapillary atrophy. CMvD, not atrophy, linked to worse visual fields and systemic vascular factors, suggesting CMvD is a key indicator of optic nerve perfusion compromise.

This study found baseline factors like lamina cribrosa curvature, IOP, and choroidal thickness predict rapid glaucoma progression, enabling early risk stratification for personalized management.

This study found peripapillary retinoschisis (PRS) in glaucoma patients did not significantly alter short-term visual field test results. This suggests VFs remain reliable for monitoring glaucoma even with PRS.

This study found topical IOP lowering in NTG patients caused detectable lamina cribrosa curvature changes in most eyes, suggesting structural response to treatment.

Kim Ji-Ah, Lee Eun Ji, Kim Tae-Woo, Yang Hee Kyung, Hwang Jeong-Min

This study compared optic nerve microvasculature in NTG and NAION, finding NTG had lower vessel density within the optic nerve head, unlike NAION. This suggests different vascular mechanisms for damage in these conditions.

This study found that glaucoma eyes with disc hemorrhage and microvasculature dropout (MvD) show earlier and more severe progressive nerve fiber layer thinning, highlighting MvD as a critical prognostic indicator.

Kim Jeong-Ah, Lee Eun Ji, Kim Tae-Woo, Kim Hyunjoong, Girard Michaël J A, Mari Jean Martial et al.

This study found lamina cribrosa morphology differs between NAION and NTG, even with similar nerve damage. This helps distinguish these conditions and understand their unique disease mechanisms.

This study found thinner lamina cribrosa in glaucoma patients is associated with worse cognitive function, suggesting a potential shared neurodegenerative mechanism.

OCTA revealed microvasculature dropout in both compressive optic neuropathy and glaucoma, but its location and associated features differed, suggesting diverse underlying causes for microvascular impairment.

Trabeculectomy in myopic glaucoma patients significantly reduced lamina cribrosa depth, meaning it moved anteriorly. This finding suggests IOP reduction can mechanically alter the optic nerve head, potentially benefiting nerve health.

NTG eyes showed a significantly more posteriorly curved and deeper lamina cribrosa than ADOA and healthy eyes, offering a clinical clue to differentiate these conditions.

Kim Ji-Ah, Kim Tae-Woo, Lee Eun Ji, Girard Michaël J A, Mari Jean Martial

NTG eyes showed thinner, more curved lamina cribrosa than healthy/OHT eyes, which had thicker, less curved lamina. This suggests distinct structural differences in glaucoma types.

Kim Gyu-Nam, Lee Eun Ji, Kim Tae-Woo

This study found parapapillary choroidal microvasculature dropout (MvD) can exist in healthy eyes, associated with systemic vascular dysregulation and lower blood pressure, suggesting a non-glaucomatous origin for some MvD.

Kim Gyu-Nam, Lee Eun Ji, Kim Tae-Woo

This study found that microvasculature dropout in healthy myopic eyes is often due to misaligned Bruch's membrane-RPE complex or RPE atrophy, distinguishing it from glaucoma-related MvD.

Na Hyun-Min, Lee Eun Ji, Lee Seung Hyen, Kim Tae-Woo

OCTA-detected peripapillary choroidal microvasculature dropout effectively identified glaucoma in highly myopic eyes with unreliable RNFL OCT, correlating with visual field defects, offering a valuable diagnostic tool.
