This study found peripapillary atrophy (alpha and beta zones) is common in elderly Chinese, correlating with age, myopia, disc size, and visual acuity. These normative data aid glaucoma detection and monitoring.

This study found adult Chinese have a mean neuroretinal rim area of 1.70 mm², correlating with larger optic disc size. This suggests larger discs and rims in Chinese compared to Western populations, aiding glaucoma assessment.

Diabetes impairs optic nerve transport, particularly in large RGCs, through the polyol pathway. Aldose reductase inhibitors prevented this damage, suggesting a therapeutic target for diabetic glaucoma.

Studying glaucoma patients, 10-2 perimetry found that one-third of central 30-2 defects weren't imminent fixation threats. This extra test helps avoid premature, radical treatment changes.

The Medmont M600 accurately detected paracentral glaucoma defects (78-95% sensitivity, 81-83% specificity) in 36% less time than Humphrey 10-2, offering an efficient clinical alternative.
