This study found that greater intraocular pressure elevation when lying down is linked to worse visual field damage in untreated normal-tension glaucoma, suggesting supine IOP measurement could guide treatment.

3-D OCT revealed successful glaucoma blebs have larger internal fluid cavities, extensive hyporeflective areas, thicker walls, and more microcysts, aiding in bleb assessment and management.

3D OCT clearly visualized trabeculectomy bleb structures and aqueous outflow channels. This non-invasive method offers objective bleb assessment, aiding clinical management.

Common glaucoma eyedrops (timolol, latanoprost, brinzolamide) do not significantly alter intraocular pressure fluctuations caused by postural changes in normal-tension glaucoma patients. This suggests different mechanisms of action.

ICG staining during trabeculectomy effectively reveals subtle bleb leaks (10.4% in this study) not visible otherwise, allowing immediate repair and preventing postoperative complications.

NTG visual field progression correlated with supine IOP and postural IOP elevation, suggesting damage may occur during sleep when patients are lying flat.
