Switching glaucoma patients from separate latanoprost and carteolol drops to a fixed-combination maintained IOP control, improved ocular surface health, and enhanced patient preference, offering a simpler, well-tolerated treatment option.

This study found that thinner baseline macular ganglion cell complex (mGCC) predicts faster visual field loss progression in glaucoma, suggesting its clinical utility for identifying high-risk patients.

This study found the OCT-derived ganglion cell complex to total retinal thickness ratio (G/T ratio) is a superior diagnostic marker for glaucoma, improving early detection compared to other OCT parameters.

This study compared prostaglandin eye drops, finding bimatoprost most frequently caused upper eyelid sulcus deepening. Clinically, patients should be informed about this common side effect before bimatoprost treatment.

This study found macular ganglion cell complex and outer retinal thicknesses are positively correlated. A GCC/outer retinal thickness ratio helps account for individual variations, improving glaucoma detection.

This study found primary angle-closure glaucoma is highly prevalent (2.2%) in rural Japan, significantly exceeding urban rates, highlighting regional differences in this blinding condition.

Glaucoma eyes with hemifield defects showed significant mGCC thinning in the *apparently normal* visual field area compared to healthy eyes, suggesting mGCC is a sensitive marker for early glaucoma detection.

Hirasawa Hiroyo, Tomidokoro Atsuo, Kunimatsu Shiho, Mishima Koichi, Iwase Aiko, Tomita Goji et al.

This study found narrow AC angles and anterior ciliary bodies are linked to peripheral anterior synechiae in narrow-angle eyes, highlighting anatomical risk factors for angle closure.

This study established normal optic disc parameters for Japanese individuals, finding disc size, height, refraction, IOP, and CCT influence these measurements, providing crucial reference data for glaucoma diagnosis.

This study found smaller optic discs and cupping in unaffected NAION eyes compared to normals, suggesting these are NAION risk factors. NAION eyes showed acquired cupping enlargement.

This study compared GDx ECC and VCC for measuring retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in glaucoma. ECC improved correlation with visual field damage, especially in highly myopic patients, offering better diagnostic accuracy.

FDT perimetry in open-angle glaucoma with hemifield damage showed high-tension glaucoma eyes had worse FDT results in both impaired and spared hemifields than normal-tension eyes, implying different FDT performance between groups.

Suzuki Yasuyuki, Iwase Aiko, Araie Makoto, Yamamoto Tetsuya, Abe Haruki, Shirato Shiroaki et al.

The Tajimi Study found that higher intraocular pressure, myopia, and older age are significant risk factors for open-angle glaucoma in Japanese individuals, aiding identification of at-risk patients.

Saito Hitomi, Tomidokoro Atsuo, Sugimoto Eiichiro, Aihara Makoto, Tomita Goji, Fujie Kazutaka et al.

This study found nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (n-AION) eyes have smaller, shallower cups and larger rims than glaucoma eyes. RNFL thickness, not disc topography, correlated with visual field damage in n-AION.

Kawano Junko, Tomidokoro Atsuo, Mayama Chihiro, Kunimatsu Shiho, Tomita Goji, Araie Makoto

This study found that in normal-tension glaucoma, only inferior parapapillary atrophy correlated with superior visual field damage, while axial length influenced both PPA regions. This suggests a specific PPA-VFD relationship in NTG.

Yamamoto Tetsuya, Iwase Aiko, Araie Makoto, Suzuki Yasuyuki, Abe Haruki, Shirato Shiroaki et al.

This Japanese study found primary angle-closure glaucoma (0.6%) and secondary glaucoma (0.5%) are less common than all glaucoma (5.0%) in adults over 40, informing population-specific disease burden.

Kunimatsu Shiho, Tomita Goji, Araie Makoto, Aihara Makoto, Suzuki Yasuyuki, Iwase Aiko et al.

This study found that frequency doubling technology (FDT) and Heidelberg Retina Tomograph's cup shape measure (CSM) can detect early glaucoma changes in eyes with large optic cups, even with normal standard tests.

Kunimatsu Shiho, Tomidokoro Atsuo, Mishima Kouichi, Takamoto Hiroyo, Tomita Goji, Iwase Aiko et al.

This study found appositional angle closure is common (85% in dark) in Japanese eyes with shallow anterior chambers, detectable by UBM. This highlights the importance of UBM, especially in dark, for accurate angle assessment.

Iwase Aiko, Suzuki Yasuyuki, Araie Makoto, Yamamoto Tetsuya, Abe Haruki, Shirato Shiroaki et al.

This Japanese study found 3.9% POAG prevalence, with 92% of cases having IOP ≤ 21 mmHg, highlighting that most glaucoma patients have "normal" IOP, crucial for screening and diagnosis.

Multiple glaucoma eyedrops worsen keratoepitheliopathy by reducing tear volume/stability; timolol caused more issues than carteolol, suggesting safer alternatives for corneal health.

Hu Chao-Yu, Matsuo Hiroshi, Tomita Goji, Suzuki Yasuyuki, Araie Makoto, Shirato Shiroaki et al.

This study found that larger avascular bleb areas increase leakage risk after trabeculectomy with MMC. Digital pressure significantly increases leakage, especially in older blebs, highlighting the need for careful late bleb complication monitoring.

LHON optic discs show glaucoma-like changes, but NTG cups are deeper. This suggests mitochondrial dysfunction might contribute to optic disc excavation in both conditions.
