This study found that in normal-tension glaucoma, worse visual fields were linked to significantly altered retrobulbar blood flow, particularly in the ophthalmic artery, even when ocular perfusion pressure was better.

This study found that elevated eye pressure in rats induced NOS-2 in optic nerve astrocytes. This induced NOS-2 may contribute to retinal ganglion cell damage in glaucoma.

Fellow eyes of acute angle-closure glaucoma patients showed more appositional angle closure and distinct anatomical features than normotensive narrow-angled eyes, indicating higher risk for future attacks.

UBM in the dark revealed appositional angle closure in most narrow angles, identifying two distinct patterns (Type B, S) linked to iris root position, aiding clinical assessment.

A 1995 survey found trabeculectomy with mitomycin was preferred by US/Japanese glaucoma specialists, but mitomycin use varied. Drainage devices were common for complex US cases.

Ultrasound biomicroscopy in a VKH patient with acute angle-closure glaucoma revealed a swollen, anteriorly rotated ciliary body and supraciliary space, explaining the transient pressure elevation.

Brovincamine, a calcium channel blocker, was studied in normal-tension glaucoma. It improved visual fields in some patients, suggesting a potential neuroprotective role for this challenging glaucoma type.
