This study found the CDKN2B gene is linked to specific retinal nerve fiber layer thinning and corresponding paracentral/lower visual field defects in glaucoma, aiding detailed genetic risk assessment.

This study found cone photoreceptor integrity (density, organization) was preserved in glaucoma patients, even with visual field loss, suggesting cones are resilient. This challenges assumptions about early cone damage.

Glaucoma patients with hemifield visual field defects showed region-specific microvascular reduction in the peripapillary retina and partially in the optic disc, correlating with visual field loss. This suggests microvascular changes contribute to glaucoma progression.

This study clustered combined visual field points and RNFL sectors in glaucoma, finding significant correlations that support the function-structure relationship, aiding understanding of glaucomatous damage patterns.

Studying axial length's effect on mGCC thickness and glaucoma diagnosis, researchers found axial length impacts mGCC, and current SD-OCT normative databases misdiagnose highly myopic eyes, even with magnification correction.

This study found that peripapillary atrophy with Bruch's membrane (PPA+BM) is linked to faster visual field progression in glaucoma, while PPA without Bruch's membrane (PPA-BM) may be protective. This microstructure helps predict glaucoma worsening.

This study found that in glaucomatous eyes, the deep scleral opening is nasally shifted from Bruch's membrane opening, correlating with disc tilt and axial length. This informs glaucoma assessment, especially in myopic, tilted discs.

This study found functional (SAP) and structural (OCT) glaucoma tests detect progression differently, highlighting their complementary roles in monitoring optic nerve damage over time.
