MRF, a web-browser visual field test, proved reliable and faster than HFA for Chinese glaucoma patients, offering an accessible, efficient alternative to improve care, especially in underserved areas.

Glaucoma patients with one-sided visual field loss showed faster macular vessel density decline in the affected area, correlating with visual field damage severity, even without significant tissue thinning. This suggests mVD loss is an early, measurable glaucoma progression marker.

Tang Lewei, Chen Liang, Ye Cong, Zheng Jingwei, Zhou Yi, Tao Yan et al.

This study found that a Yang-deficient constitution, a Traditional Chinese Medicine type, is a significant risk factor for visual field progression in normal-tension glaucoma patients, suggesting potential links to vasoregulation.

Ye Cong, Wang Xiaoyan, Yu Marco Chak-Yan, Shang Xiao, Zhou Kun, Tao Yan et al.

This study found macular vessel density, ganglion cell thickness, and nerve fiber layer all decrease in POAG, but their progression detection poorly agrees. Baseline metrics influenced vessel density loss.

Lin Sigeng, Cheng Huanhuan, Zhang Shaodan, Ye Cong, Pan Xiafei, Tao Aizhu et al.

This study found that parapapillary microvasculature dropout (MvD) predicts faster retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thinning in normal-tension glaucoma, highlighting MvD as a key indicator of disease progression.

Liang Yuanbo, Jiang Junhong, Ou Wen, Peng Xianyao, Sun Ruizhu, Xu Xiang et al.

Community screening identified glaucoma patients with significantly milder disease and more underserved demographics (older, female) than clinic-diagnosed cases, suggesting screening improves early detection, especially for normal-tension glaucoma.

This study found that segmentation errors and retinal blood vessels significantly affect SD-OCT RNFL measurements, especially in advanced glaucoma, impacting diagnostic accuracy.

This study found age-related thinning impacts glaucoma progression detection, especially for macular measurements, and accounting for it reduces detected progression. RNFL and macular progression detection often disagree.

Swept-source OCT effectively visualizes anterior chamber angle structures, especially the scleral spur. Visibility of Schwalbe's Line and Schlemm's Canal is lower, varying by scan density and quadrant, aiding glaucoma assessment.

A Scheimpflug camera reliably measured corneal deformation (CDA). CDA, not CCT, was the main factor influencing Goldmann applanation tonometry errors, making it a crucial metric for accurate IOP.

Myopia alters RNFL bundle distribution, causing more "abnormal" areas on OCT maps. Clinicians must consider this unique pattern when interpreting myopic RNFL scans for glaucoma.

This study found OCT and HRT optic disc measurements poorly agree, with OCT measuring smaller discs/rims. However, both instruments show high reproducibility, suggesting OCT may offer more precise monitoring.

Liu Shu, Li Zhi-wai, Weinreb Robert N, Xu Guihua, Lindsey James D, Ye Cong et al.

This study tracked retinal microglia in mice after optic nerve injury, finding microgliosis correlates with RGC loss. This imaging method could help assess glaucoma progression and treatment efficacy.

Leung Christopher K S, Yu Marco, Weinreb Robert N, Ye Cong, Liu Shu, Lai Gilda et al.

This study found OCT-measured RNFL thickness naturally decreases with age, especially in superior/inferior quadrants. Clinically, this age-related thinning must be considered when monitoring glaucoma progression.

This study found that averaging more OCT B-scans for RNFL measurement generally doesn't significantly change thickness values or variability, suggesting limited clinical impact for Spectralis OCT.

Yu Marco, Weinreb Robert N, Yiu Cedric, Liu Shu, Or Ming Keung, Ye Cong et al.

This study found trend analysis generally outperforms event analysis for detecting progressive retinal nerve fiber layer loss in glaucoma, making it a more sensitive tool for earlier clinical detection.

Ye Cong, To Elaine, Weinreb Robert N, Yu Marco, Liu Shu, Lam Dennis S C et al.

This study compared retinal nerve fiber layer defects using OCT and CSLO. It found OCT detected significantly larger and more extensive defects, indicating better sensitivity for early glaucoma detection.

Swept-source OCT angle measurements are highly reproducible, yet variability is influenced by iris thickness, angle width, measurement location, and axial length, important for glaucoma assessment.

Li Zhi-wai, Liu Shu, Weinreb Robert N, Lindsey James D, Yu Marco, Liu Lan et al.

This study found RGC dendrites progressively shrink after 90-120 minutes of acute high IOP, but not shorter durations. This suggests dendritic shrinkage is an early, measurable sign of RGC damage in glaucoma.

Liu Shu, Lam Shi, Weinreb Robert N, Ye Cong, Cheung Carol Y, Lai Gilda et al.

This study compared SAP, FDT, and SWAP for glaucoma detection, finding FDT and SAP performed similarly and better than SWAP, especially for early disease, offering guidance for test selection.

Leung Christopher Kai-Shun, Chiu Vivian, Weinreb Robert N, Liu Shu, Ye Cong, Yu Marco et al.

This study compared SD-OCT and TD-OCT for detecting glaucoma progression. SD-OCT (Cirrus) detected significantly more retinal nerve fiber layer progression than TD-OCT (Stratus), indicating its superior clinical utility for monitoring glaucoma.

Leung Christopher Kai Shun, Liu Shu, Weinreb Robert N, Lai Gilda, Ye Cong, Cheung Carol Yim Lui et al.

This study found poor agreement between OCT, HRT, and visual field in detecting glaucoma progression, highlighting the need for individualized, multi-modal assessment due to high variability.

Leung Christopher Kai-Shun, Cheung Carol Yim-Lui, Weinreb Robert Neal, Liu Shu, Ye Cong, Lai Gilda et al.

This study found Stratus OCT's fast RNFL scan detects more glaucoma progression than the regular scan, suggesting it's preferable for monitoring nerve damage.
