Latanoprost-treated glaucoma patients showed decreased conjunctival collagen and less inflammation/matrix accumulation than timolol, suggesting latanoprost may improve glaucoma surgery outcomes.

Replacing dual glaucoma therapy with latanoprost monotherapy maintained comparable intraocular pressure control and safety. This suggests latanoprost monotherapy is a safe, effective alternative for many open-angle glaucoma patients.

This study found ocular pulse amplitude, reflecting choroidal perfusion, is significantly reduced in advanced stages of retinitis pigmentosa, indicating choroidal circulation is affected in later disease.

Boehm A G, Pillunat L E, Koeller U, Katz B, Schicketanz C, Klemm M et al.

This study found the temporal optic nerve rim has significantly lower blood flow than the nasal side, potentially explaining why this area is preferentially damaged in glaucoma.

Topical dorzolamide lowered IOP but did not significantly alter optic nerve head blood flow in healthy subjects. This suggests dorzolamide's IOP-lowering effect doesn't directly improve optic nerve blood supply.

Acute IOP elevations impair PCA blood flow in healthy eyes, showing normal autoregulation cannot compensate. This suggests vascular vulnerability in glaucoma.

Topical dorzolamide increased ocular pulse amplitude in high-tension glaucoma and controls. This suggests carbonic anhydrase inhibitors might improve glaucoma prognosis by enhancing ocular perfusion, beyond just lowering IOP.

Laser Doppler flowmetry for optic nerve head blood flow is reproducible, especially velocity, after examiner experience, making it suitable for studying physiological changes in ONH microcirculation.

Schmidt K G, Rückmann A V, Mittag T W, Hessemer V, Pillunat L E

This study found that reduced ocular pulse amplitude in low-tension glaucoma patients, indicating abnormal choroidal perfusion, is present regardless of vasospasm, suggesting a distinct vascular issue.

Pillunat L E, Lang G K, Harris A

Some normal pressure glaucoma patients show increased ocular blood flow and improved vision with CO2, suggesting vasospasm might be treatable in this subgroup.

This study found low tension glaucoma patients uniquely lack optic nerve head autoregulation under pressure, distinguishing them from healthy eyes and ischemic neuropathy, offering a potential diagnostic tool.

Pillunat L E, Stodtmeister R, Wilmanns I, Christ T

This study found normal eyes autoregulate ocular blood flow during IOP changes, unlike glaucoma patients, suggesting impaired vascular autoregulation contributes to glaucoma.
