Detection of Glaucoma Progression in Individuals of African Descent Compared With Those of European Descent.

Patients of African descent with glaucoma showed increased visual field variability compared with those of European descent, resulting in delayed detection of progression that may contribute to explain higher rates of glaucoma-related visual impairment in…

Intra- and interobserver reproducibility of Bruch's membrane opening minimum rim width measurements with spectral domain optical coherence tomography.

The reproducibilities of BMO-MRW, BMO area measurements and FoBMO angle were excellent in both healthy subjects and patients with glaucoma. Bruch's membrane opening minimum rim width (BMO-MRW) reproducibility is comparable to that of RNFLT measurements.

Predicting Vision-Related Disability in Glaucoma.

A new methodology for classification and analysis of change in patient-reported quality-of-life outcomes allowed construction of models for predicting vision-related disability in glaucoma.

What Is the Amount of Visual Field Loss Associated With Disability in Glaucoma?

Application of an LCA model allowed categorization of patient-reported outcomes and quantification of visual field levels associated with disability in glaucoma.

Psychometric Properties of the Glaucoma Treatment Compliance Assessment Tool (GTCAT) in a Brazilian Population.

The Portuguese-translated version of the GTCAT showed acceptable psychometric properties. With further refinement, clinicians and researchers could use it to better investigate glaucoma adherence issues in the Brazilian population.

Primary Trabeculectomy Outcomes by Glaucoma Fellows in a Tertiary Hospital in Brazil.

A success rate of approximately 60% was obtained 3 years after primary trabeculectomy performed by trainees.

Disc-fovea Angle Is Associated With Visual Field Defect Location in Patients With Glaucoma.

This study showed an association between disc-fovea angle and central visual field defects in patients with glaucoma.

Effect of Anti-Inflammatory Regimen on Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty Outcomes: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

In summary, when evaluating the effect of different anti-inflammatory regimens on SLT outcomes in newly diagnosed POAG patients, we found higher success rates in patients treated with prednisolone acetate 1% after SLT.

Trabeculectomy in Eyes With High Myopia.

Trabeculectomy was effective in reducing IOP in patients with high myopia and glaucoma, without the additional risk of complications compared with a control group.

Association between Intraocular Pressure and Rates of Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Loss Measured by Optical Coherence Tomography.

Higher levels of IOP during follow-up were associated with faster rates of RNFL loss over time measured by SD OCT.

Association of Fast Visual Field Loss With Risk of Falling in Patients With Glaucoma.

The rate of visual field loss was associated with a self-reported history of falls in the past year even after taking into account the magnitude of visual field defect.

The Relative Odds of Progressing by Structural and Functional Tests in Glaucoma.

The ability to detect glaucoma progression by SAP versus SD-OCT is significantly influenced by the stage of disease.

Corneal Hysteresis and Progressive Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Loss in Glaucoma.

Lower CH was significantly associated with faster rates of RNFL loss over time.

Asymmetric Macular Structural Damage Is Associated With Relative Afferent Pupillary Defects in Patients With Glaucoma.

Objective assessment of pupillary responses using a pupillometer was associated with asymmetric macular structural damage in patients with glaucoma.

Fast Visual Field Progression Is Associated with Depressive Symptoms in Patients with Glaucoma.

Faster visual field progression was associated with the occurrence of depressive symptoms in patients with glaucoma.

The Impact of Location of Progressive Visual Field Loss on Longitudinal Changes in Quality of Life of Patients with Glaucoma.

Progressive decline in sensitivity in the central inferior area of the visual field had the strongest association with longitudinal decline in QoL of patients with glaucoma.

Frequency Doubling Technology Perimetry and Changes in Quality of Life of Glaucoma Patients: A Longitudinal Study.

SAP performed significantly better than FDT in predicting change in NEI VFQ-25 scores in our population, suggesting that it may still be the preferable perimetric technique for predicting risk of disability from the disease.

Evaluation of Postural Control in Patients with Glaucoma Using a Virtual Reality Environment.

The study presented and validated a novel paradigm for evaluation of balance control in patients with glaucoma on the basis of the assessment of postural reactivity to dynamic visual stimuli using a virtual reality environment.

Association between progressive retinal nerve fiber layer loss and longitudinal change in quality of life in glaucoma.

Progressive binocular RNFL thickness loss was associated with longitudinal loss in quality of life, even after adjustment for progressive visual field loss.
