This study found no association between myopia levels and glaucoma progression, but high myopia appeared protective against optic disc/RNFL progression, possibly due to detection challenges or misdiagnosis.

This study found preperimetric and perimetric glaucoma eyes show different macular thinning rates and patterns. Macular thinning was faster than age-related loss in most eyes, with perimetric glaucoma progressing faster in specific macular regions.

This study found SD-OCT ganglion cell complex thickness is useful for detecting early macular changes in preperimetric glaucoma, comparable to peripapillary RNFL and ONH measurements.

Cirrus OCT's deviation maps were better than GDx-VCC for detecting early glaucoma's localized nerve fiber layer defects. This suggests Cirrus OCT offers superior diagnostic precision in early disease.

This study found that greater 24-hour ocular perfusion pressure fluctuations are linked to faster paracentral visual field progression in normal-tension glaucoma, highlighting a critical factor for monitoring and treatment.

SD-OCT tracking of cRNFL, macular, and ONH changes helps identify glaucoma progression, showing faster tissue loss in progressing eyes, aiding earlier clinical intervention.

This study found macular thickness (TMT) measurements from SD-OCT are more effective than circumpapillary RNFL thickness for detecting glaucoma progression, especially in the central visual field.

Lee Kyoung Sub, Sung Kyung Rim, Na Jung Hwa, Lee Youngrok, Lee Joo Yong, Kim June-Gone et al.

This study found a modified tube shunt to an encircling band effectively lowered high eye pressure in complex cases, offering a new surgical option for refractory glaucoma after retinal detachment surgery.

Macular OCT shows promise for glaucoma diagnosis, especially with SD-OCT's improved resolution, offering a valuable adjunct to standard RNFL assessment for better detection and monitoring.

Cirrus HD-OCT neuroretinal rim measurements in myopic eyes frequently have errors (17.6%), particularly with high myopia, parapapillary atrophy, and vitreous opacities. Clinicians must consider these factors when interpreting results.

Cirrus OCT's RNFLT was superior to ONH parameters for glaucoma diagnosis, especially in early disease and small optic discs, guiding better clinical detection.

Kang Sung Yong, Sung Kyung Rim, Na Jung Hwa, Choi Eun Hee, Cho Jung Woo, Cheon Mi Hyun et al.

This study found Cirrus OCT's deviation map algorithm better detects localized glaucoma than pRNFL thickness, offering a superior diagnostic tool for early disease.

This study found that a history of refractive corneal surgery does not significantly impact glaucoma progression, with baseline visual field damage and age being the main risk factors.

Na Jung Hwa, Kook Michael S, Lee Youngrok, Baek Seunghee

This study found that ganglion cell complex thickness (GCCT) better correlates with macular visual field sensitivity in glaucoma than peripapillary RNFL thickness, especially in the superior field, aiding earlier detection.

Na Jung Hwa, Sung Kyung Rim, Baek Seunghee, Kim Yoon Jeon, Durbin Mary K, Lee Hye Jin et al.

This study found circumpapillary RNFL thickness best for glaucoma diagnosis, but ganglion cell analysis and total macular thickness showed similar, albeit low, sensitivity for detecting glaucoma progression.

Na Jung Hwa, Kook Michael S, Lee Youngrok, Yu Sung Jin, Choi Jaewan

SD-OCT showed glaucoma patients with localized visual field defects had structural thinning (mGCC, cRNFL) even in areas *without* visual field loss, aiding early detection.

Macular thickness asymmetry (MHT) was studied for early glaucoma detection. It showed higher sensitivity than cRNFL for early glaucoma, suggesting MHT is a valuable tool for early diagnosis.

Lee Youngrok, Sung Kyung Rim, Na Jung Hwa, Sun Jae Hong

This study found that while primary angle closure eyes have shallower anterior chambers, their dynamic anterior segment changes with pupil variation are similar to age-matched open-angle eyes, suggesting age-related AS changes contribute to angle closure.

Lee Young Rok, Kook Michael S, Joe Soo Geun, Na Jung Hwa, Han Seungbong, Kim Seonok et al.

This NTG study found significant nighttime habitual-position IOP elevation, but no correlation between 24-hour IOP patterns or nocturnal elevation and visual field damage.

Macular thickness OCT better detects progression in advanced glaucoma than RNFL thickness, offering a valuable tool for monitoring these challenging cases.

Na Jung Hwa, Sung Kyung Rim, Baek Seunghee, Sun Jae Hong, Lee Youngrok

This study found cRNFL thickness is generally superior to macular thickness for glaucoma diagnosis. Macular thickness is more helpful in eyes with larger optic discs.

This study found that abnormal inferior retinal nerve fiber layer or multiple abnormal sectors on baseline OCT predict future visual field loss in glaucoma suspects, aiding early risk assessment.

This study found that unstable 24-hour ocular perfusion pressure fluctuation is a significant risk factor for central visual field progression in normal-tension glaucoma, highlighting its importance for patient management.

Cho Jung Woo, Sung Kyung Rim, Lee Suhwan, Yun Sung-Cheol, Kang Sung Yong, Choi Jaewan et al.

This study found macular ganglion cell thickness correlates with visual field sensitivity in glaucoma patients, similar to peripapillary RNFL, with a curvilinear relationship, aiding structural-functional assessment.
