This study found normal aging causes about half of the retinal nerve fiber layer thinning observed in treated glaucoma patients, helping distinguish age-related changes from disease progression.

This study found 10-20% blindness after long-term trabeculectomy with MMC for open-angle glaucoma. Pre-existing severe vision loss and poor postoperative IOP control were key risk factors for blindness.

Outer nasal macular perfusion density (MPD) correlates strongly with central visual field loss across all POAG stages. It's a valuable biomarker, particularly in advanced disease, complementing structural OCT when measurements are at their floor.

This study compared phaco-µLOT and phaco-iStent for low-teen IOP glaucoma. Both reduced medications, but phaco-µLOT was more effective for IOP control, offering a promising option for these patients.

Automated 360° gonioscopy accurately graded angle pigmentation, showing good agreement with manual methods and confirming higher pigmentation inferiorly, which could aid glaucoma assessment.
