This study found that in 11-year-old very preterm children, thicker retinal nerve fiber layer correlated with better motor skills, and larger macular ganglion cell volume with better cognition, suggesting retinal OCT may reflect broader neurodevelopment.

Bariatric surgery significantly lowered intraocular pressure (IOP) in obese women, which was initially higher than in non-obese controls. This suggests weight loss may reduce glaucoma risk in obese patients.

Deep sclerectomy effectively lowered IOP long-term in normal-tension glaucoma with few complications, offering a safe surgical option.

A rare ring melanoma of the anterior chamber angle can mimic pigmentary glaucoma, causing severe unilateral high pressure. Early recognition is crucial as it requires different management and carries metastatic risk, especially in older patients.

Deep sclerectomy for normal-tension glaucoma effectively lowers IOP. Adding mitomycin-C further reduces IOP significantly at 12 months, offering better pressure control without increased complications, which is clinically beneficial.

This study verified a formula for measuring retinal features from fundus photos, finding it accurately predicts blind spot location and establishing a consistent conversion factor for Topcon cameras, improving retinal measurement accuracy.

IOP reduction in exfoliation glaucoma caused retinal vasoconstriction and reduced blood flow, but had no effect in normal-tension glaucoma, suggesting different vascular responses to pressure changes.

Healthy volunteers' optic nerve heads showed significant changes, including increased cupping, over 11 years, indicating age-dependent topographic alterations even without glaucoma. This highlights normal ONH remodeling.

This study found peripapillary retinal blood flow is reduced at the time of disc hemorrhage, then increases after resolution, suggesting dynamic vascular changes linked to DH occurrence.

Deep sclerectomy significantly lowered IOP in normal-tension glaucoma patients over one year, proving a safe and effective treatment option for this challenging condition.

This study found no difference in peripapillary retinal blood flow between progressive and stable exfoliation glaucoma. This suggests blood flow may not be a primary differentiator for progression in ExG.

This study found 6% of treated glaucoma/OHT patients became bilaterally blind from glaucoma, with advanced stage, IOP fluctuation, exfoliation, and poor compliance increasing risk.

Uveitis-related glaucoma shows elevated, activated matrix metalloproteinases in aqueous humor, unlike other glaucomas. This highlights inflammation's role in USG pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets.

This study compared glaucoma progression detection methods, finding they vary in sensitivity, specificity, and time to detection, impacting clinical decisions on progression.

This study compared real and simulated glaucoma visual fields, finding simulations were accurate but variability increased in damaged areas and with short-term fluctuations, not long-term.
