This study found persistent angle narrowing after LPI, measured by AS-OCT or gonioscopy, predicts progression to angle closure. This identifies high-risk patients needing closer monitoring.

This study found prophylactic laser iridotomy in angle-closure suspect eyes did not cause clinically significant cataract progression or require more cataract surgery over six years, despite slightly increased lens opacity.

Xu Benjamin Y, Friedman David S, Foster Paul J, Jiang Yu, Porporato Natalia, Pardeshi Anmol A et al.

This study found that narrower anterior chamber angles and flatter irises, measured by AS-OCT, predict progression from angle closure suspect to disease, helping risk-stratify patients.

This study found superior LPI location significantly widened the angle more than temporal/nasal LPI in PACS patients, suggesting superior placement optimizes anatomical outcomes.

He Mingguang, Jiang Yuzhen, Huang Shengsong, Chang Dolly S, Munoz Beatriz, Aung Tin et al.

This study found prophylactic laser iridotomy modestly reduced angle-closure disease in suspects, but the overall low incidence means widespread treatment isn't recommended due to limited benefit.

Friedman David S, Chang Dolly Shuo-Teh, Jiang Yuzhen, Huang Shengsong, Kong Xiangbin, Munoz Beatriz et al.

Darkroom prone provocative testing poorly distinguished angle closure suspects from controls, and didn't predict future glaucoma, limiting its clinical utility for risk assessment.

This study found chloral hydrate sedation in children had no significant impact on intraocular pressure. This suggests chloral hydrate is safe for pediatric ophthalmic procedures concerning IOP.

This study found that while not all glaucoma patients could use the Icare HOME device, those who could obtained reliable IOP measurements comparable to Goldmann tonometry, offering potential for frequent self-monitoring.

Day Alexander C, Baio Gianluca, Gazzard Gus, Bunce Catey, Azuara-Blanco Augusto, Munoz Beatriz et al.

This review found primary angle closure glaucoma affects 0.4% of Europeans over 40, is more common in women and older age, and is more prevalent than previously thought, highlighting the need for angle assessment.

This study found bilateral glaucoma significantly increases driving cessation risk in the elderly, especially with worse better-eye vision. Minimizing visual field loss is crucial for maintaining driving function.

Broman Aimee Teo, Quigley Harry A, West Sheila K, Katz Joanne, Munoz Beatriz, Bandeen-Roche Karen et al.

This study estimated visual field progression rates in open-angle glaucoma using population data, finding an average worsening of -1.1 to -1.6 dB/year, with no significant ethnic difference. This suggests slightly faster progression than some clinic studies.

Bilateral glaucoma significantly impairs mobility, causing slower walking and more bumps, even after adjusting for other factors. This highlights the functional burden of bilateral visual field loss.

Broman Aimee Teo, Munoz Beatriz, Rodriguez Jorge, Sanchez Rosario, Quigley Harry A, Klein Ronald et al.

This study found visual impairment and eye diseases like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy significantly reduce quality of life in Mexican-Americans, often beyond acuity loss. This highlights the need for comprehensive assessment and management.

Rodriguez Jorge, Sanchez Rosario, Munoz Beatriz, West Sheila K, Broman Aimee, Snyder Robert W et al.

This study found that open-angle glaucoma was the leading cause of blindness in U.S. Hispanics, differing from other populations. This highlights the need for targeted screening and care.
