Inferotemporal 10-2 VF defect clustering strongly correlated with VA loss in NTG, especially with disease progression. This region, plus macular GCL-IPL thickness, predicts VA decline, highlighting its critical role for clinical monitoring and prognosis.

This study found normal-tension glaucoma patients with pronounced nocturnal blood pressure dips (over-dippers) experience significantly faster central visual field progression, highlighting the need for close monitoring in this group.

This study found that different angle closure mechanisms impact post-phacoemulsification IOP control differently. Classifying angle closure mechanisms is crucial for personalized postoperative IOP management and treatment decisions.

This study found macular thinning (mGCIPL) better predicts visual field progression in initial parafoveal scotomas, while both macular and peripapillary (pRNFL) thinning predict progression in nasal step defects. This guides optimal glaucoma monitoring.

This study found vasculature-function relationships are consistent across all glaucoma stages, but structure-function relationships diminish in advanced glaucoma. Monitoring vessel density may aid progression assessment at all stages.

Targeted mean total deviation (TMTD) trend analysis more sensitively detects visual field progression than standard methods in early-to-moderate glaucoma, offering a better tool for monitoring disease worsening.

In hypertensive NTG patients, a greater morning blood pressure surge independently predicted visual field progression. Monitoring this surge may help identify patients at higher risk.

Quantitative iridotrabecular contact (ITC) predicts post-phacoemulsification IOP reduction and fluctuation in primary angle closure, suggesting its use in surgical planning for these patients.
