This study found POAG patients have greater inter-eye nerve fiber layer asymmetry, but similar microvascular asymmetry to controls, suggesting systemic factors, like hypertension treatment, may influence glaucoma's vascular component.

This study found beta- and gamma-zone PPA in non-myopic eyes. Gamma-zone PPA reflects optic nerve head canal offset, suggesting its presence isn't exclusive to myopia, aiding glaucoma assessment.

In PACG, central retinal vascular trunk deviation predicts the dominant visual field defect hemisphere, suggesting lamina cribrosa position influences optic nerve vulnerability.

Researchers compared three rodent glaucoma models across two rat strains. They found Brown Norway rats were superior for bead/hydrogel models, while either strain worked for circumlimbal suture, highlighting strain's impact on model selection for glaucoma studies.

This 4-year study of myopic children found stable peripapillary RNFL and choroidal thicknesses, and RNFL peak locations, despite axial elongation. This suggests these OCT parameters are reliable for glaucoma monitoring in progressive myopia.

This study found 3D eyeball shape is linked to optic nerve head structure. Different shapes cause distinct shifts in internal optic nerve components, suggesting varied growth patterns influence glaucoma susceptibility.

This study found disc-centered retinal nerve fiber layer defects are closer to the fovea in myopic glaucoma, especially with higher myopia, impacting how we interpret defect location.

This study found en face OCT distinguishes buried optic disc drusen (hyperreflective, kidney-shaped) from edema. This helps differentiate these conditions, suggesting drusen are deposits, not herniated axons, crucial for diagnosis.

In POAG patients, lower corneal hysteresis was linked to a more curved lamina cribrosa, suggesting it reflects structural vulnerability and could aid glaucoma risk assessment.

Newborns' central vascular trunk is typically central with a vertically oval optic disc, suggesting these features change significantly during eye development, unlike adult variability.

Lee Kyoung Min, Choung Ho-Kyung, Kim Martha, Oh Sohee, Kim Seok Hwan

This study found β-zone PPA enlarged in myopic children as eyes elongated, linked to vascular dragging and disproportionate retinal-scleral growth, highlighting its dynamic nature in myopia progression.

Kim Martha, Choung Ho-Kyung, Lee Kyoung Min, Oh Sohee, Kim Seok Hwan

This study tracked optic nerve changes in myopic children, finding axial elongation drives optic disc stretching and γ-zone PPA development. This links myopia progression to glaucoma-relevant structural changes.

Lee Kyoung Min, Choung Ho-Kyung, Kim Martha, Oh Sohee, Kim Seok Hwan

This study found that during axial elongation, the central retinal vascular trunk, embedded in the lamina cribrosa, shifts nasally. This suggests nasal lamina cribrosa shifting, potentially explaining myopia's glaucoma vulnerability.

This study found pseudophakic macular edema (PME) is more common than thought, occurring significantly more in POAG patients, especially those using prostaglandin analogues, highlighting a key surgical risk.

OCTA-detected choroidal microvasculature dropout in glaucoma accurately represents true perfusion defects seen with ICGA. This confirms OCTA's utility for non-invasively assessing impaired peripapillary choroidal circulation.

Lee Eun Ji, Lee Kyoung Min, Lee Seung Hyen, Kim Tae-Woo

OCTA showed peripapillary microvasculature loss consistently matches RNFL defects in glaucoma, suggesting secondary capillary damage. This aids understanding glaucoma's vascular component.

This study found superior segmental optic nerve hypoplasia (SSOH) has distinct deep optic nerve structures (thicker lamina, shallower anterior surface) compared to glaucoma, aiding differentiation to guide treatment.

This study found BMO-centered RNFL measurements improve glaucoma detection in tilted discs by providing a more reliable RNFL profile, otherwise comparable to conventional methods.

NTG eyes showed significantly thinner juxtapapillary choroid than healthy eyes, particularly where nerve damage occurred, suggesting microvascular compromise contributes to NTG pathogenesis.

Lee Kyoung Min, Lee Eun Ji, Kim Tae-Woo

This study found lamina cribrosa configuration differs with optic disc tilt axis. This explains varying retinal nerve fiber layer thinning patterns, suggesting tilt, not rotation, causes horizontal disc tilt.

SD-OCT revealed diverse ONHD morphologies, with buried drusen more common in younger patients and visible drusen in older patients with larger discs, impacting clinical assessment.

Lee Kyoung Min, Woo Se Joon, Hwang Jeong-Min

SD-OCT effectively differentiates optic nerve head drusen from optic disc edema. Drusen appear as hyperreflective masses with deformed RNFL pseudoedema, while true edema shows significantly thicker RNFL, especially nasally.
