This study found more amyloid-beta (Aβ) in human glaucoma retinas than controls, mapped its distribution, and showed a novel tracer (AMDX-2011) can identify it, suggesting future diagnostic potential.

This study found that TED patients exhibit a morning peak in 24-hour IOP, monitored safely by a contact lens sensor, suggesting nocturnal IOP elevation is common and clinically relevant for glaucoma management in this population.

This study found that while individual graders consistently measured β-PPA in glaucoma using FAF or CSLO, agreement between different graders and between the two imaging methods was poor, limiting their interchangeability.

This study found dynamic contour tonometry (DCT) was significantly more repeatable and reproducible than Goldmann and ORA in normal eyes, suggesting it offers more precise IOP monitoring for glaucoma management.

This study analyzed 24-hour IOP patterns in glaucoma patients/suspects. It found the cosinor method effectively models repeatable nocturnal IOP peaks in most patients, aiding personalized glaucoma management.

SD-OCT retinal nerve fiber layer analysis effectively detects preperimetric glaucoma, outperforming CSLO. This improves early diagnosis, allowing earlier intervention to preserve vision.

This study found optic nerve and nerve fiber layer thickness measurements using OCT are highly repeatable and consistent whether patients are sitting or supine, supporting reliable glaucoma monitoring in various clinical settings.

This study found a Bayesian model incorporating glaucoma risk factors and optic disc damage better predicts visual field progression than standard methods, offering more accurate patient monitoring.

This study found corneal biomechanics (CH, CRF) had only a weak association with glaucoma severity (visual field, RNFL thickness), suggesting limited clinical utility for assessing disease progression.

Leite Mauro T, Rao Harsha L, Weinreb Robert N, Zangwill Linda M, Bowd Christopher, Sample Pamela A et al.

Different SD-OCTs measure RNFL thickness differently, showing fixed and proportional biases. Instruments are not interchangeable, impacting glaucoma diagnosis and monitoring, as patient factors also affect agreement.

This study compared pattern ERG to other visual field tests for glaucoma diagnosis. Pattern ERG performed similarly to SAP and SWAP, but worse than FDT, yet offers objective assessment.

This study found operator differences and optical defocus significantly impact PERGLA amplitude, highlighting the need for standardized testing and optimal visual correction for reliable glaucoma detection.

This study found a new PERG device (PERGLA) shows good, consistent repeatability in both healthy and glaucoma eyes, suggesting its promise for monitoring glaucoma changes over time.

Bowd Christopher, Vizzeri Gianmarco, Tafreshi Ali, Zangwill Linda M, Sample Pamela A, Weinreb Robert N

PERGLA, a new glaucoma diagnostic, distinguished healthy from glaucomatous eyes but performed no better than standard visual field tests, suggesting limited clinical advantage over existing methods.

Tafreshi Ali, Sample Pamela A, Liebmann Jeffrey M, Girkin Christopher A, Zangwill Linda M, Weinreb Robert N et al.

This study compared SAP, SWAP, and FDT perimetry for glaucoma detection. Finding: confirming visual field abnormality is important and best achieved with a repeat SAP or SWAP test.

Baseline OCT retinal nerve fiber layer thinning in glaucoma suspects independently predicted future glaucomatous changes, highlighting its utility for identifying high-risk patients.
