This study integrated structural and functional glaucoma data, finding structural decline precedes functional loss early, while functional-only progression dominates later, improving personalized disease monitoring.

This study found a Bayesian model more accurately links macular structure and function changes in glaucoma than standard methods. This improves monitoring and understanding of disease progression.

COVID-19 significantly reduced ophthalmic visits/surgeries, especially for women, older patients, and those in wave locations, highlighting the need for resilient healthcare policies to ensure access during crises.

This study found optic nerve head morphology, especially cup-to-disk ratio, influences whether peripapillary RNFL or macular GCIPL loss progresses first in glaucoma, guiding earlier detection strategies.

Astrocyte-derived CNTF protects retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) from oxidative stress via PI3K/AKT, JAK/STAT, and MAPK/ERK pathways. This finding suggests CNTF could be a therapeutic target for RGC injury in glaucoma.

This study found that specific clinical factors predict whether normal-tension glaucoma progression starts in the peripapillary nerve fiber layer or macula, suggesting different underlying damage mechanisms.

This study found that in glaucoma patients with disc hemorrhage, higher systemic blood pressure was associated with reduced macular vessel density, suggesting increased vascular susceptibility in this subgroup.

This study found low systemic blood pressure, not IOP, was a key risk factor for structural progression in normal-tension glaucoma, highlighting the need to monitor hypotension in NTG management.

NTG progression patterns varied among subgroups, with young, myopic eyes showing mixed progression. This highlights the need for personalized management in NTG.
