Childhood cancer survivors show thinner retinal nerve fiber layers, especially after cranial radiation or platinum chemotherapy, suggesting potential increased risk for future neurodegenerative eye diseases like glaucoma.

This study found systemic selective beta-blocker changes significantly impact IOP. Clinically, routinely ask patients about systemic medication changes to better manage glaucoma.

This study found intraocular pressure (IOP) increased over 5 years, linked to changes in BMI and systolic blood pressure. Monitoring cardiovascular risk factors is important for IOP management.

Hartmann Alica, Grabitz Stephanie D, Hoffmann Esther M, Wild Philipp S, Schmidtmann Irene, Lackner Karl J et al.

This study found intraocular pressure (IOP) is lower in summer (higher temperature) and higher in winter, partly due to blood pressure changes. IOP also correlated with air pressure. This suggests environmental temperature impacts glaucoma risk.

Hoffmann Esther M, Aghayeva Fidan, Wagner Felix M, Fiess Achim, Nagler Markus, Münzel Thomas et al.

This study found intraocular pressure (IOP) relates to ocular geometry (CCT, axial length, lens thickness) in a large population. Understanding eye architecture is key for accurate IOP measurement and glaucoma risk assessment.

Hopf Susanne, Heidt Franziska, Korb Christina A, Schulz Andreas, Münzel Thomas, Wild Philipp S et al.

This study found myopic maculopathy incidence is rare, but progression occurs in 50% of affected highly myopic eyes, with higher IOP being a risk factor, highlighting the need for monitoring.

This study found peripheral corneal thickness increases with age and is influenced by various factors, including glaucoma. A smaller peripheral thickening could be a novel glaucoma marker.

Wagner Felix Mathias, Hoffmann Esther Maria, Nickels Stefan, Fiess Achim, Münzel Thomas, Wild Philipp S et al.

This study found pRNFL profile, particularly the angle between maxima, significantly varies with axial length, refractive error, age, and sex. Clinically, these biometric factors must be considered when interpreting pRNFL scans for glaucoma diagnosis.

Fieß Achim, Nickels Stefan, Urschitz Michael S, Münzel Thomas, Wild Philipp S, Beutel Manfred E et al.

This study found a weak but significant association between higher birth weight and thicker adult retinal nerve fiber layer, especially inferiorly, suggesting early life factors may influence optic nerve development and disease risk.

This study found epiretinal membranes are the most common vitreo-macular interface pathology in the general population, more frequent in older, myopic individuals and those with prior retinal laser, guiding clinical risk assessment.

Höhn René, Nickels Stefan, Schuster Alexander K, Wild Philipp S, Münzel Thomas, Lackner Karl J et al.

This German study found definite glaucoma prevalence of ~1.3-1.4% in adults, increasing with age. A key finding was that optic disk size significantly influenced glaucoma diagnosis, highlighting its importance in epidemiological studies.

Schuster Alexander K, Pfeiffer Norbert, Nickels Stefan, Schulz Andreas, Höhn René, Wild Philipp S et al.

This study found narrower anterior chamber angles are independently associated with female sex, older age, hyperopia, and shallow anterior chamber depth, identifying key risk factors for angle-closure glaucoma.
