The Impact of Social Vulnerability on Structural and Functional Glaucoma Severity, Worsening, and Variability.

Increased SVI score is associated with worse functional (VF) loss at baseline, higher rates of structural (OCT) worsening over time, higher VF variability, and a greater effect of IOP on RNFL loss.

Characterizing Longitudinal Changes in Fear of Falling and Quality of Life in Patients with Varying Levels of Visual Field Damage.

Patients with glaucoma generally showed worsening of QoL and FoF over time, though the degree of change was modest and not related to the degree of damage at baseline.

The Effect of Medication Adherence on Intraocular Pressure and Glaucoma Progression.

Lower adherence was associated with higher IOP, with a stronger effect seen at PDC values below the median, and accelerated glaucomatous damage, including faster rates of MD deterioration and increased RNFLT loss.

Interocular Asymmetry of OCT Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Values in a Normative Population: The Framingham Heart Study.

The 95% limits for average RNFL and CDR were within 12.7 microns and 0.2 units, respectively, between eyes.

Relationship between home environment features and difficulty in instrumental activities of daily living and other patient-reported measures in persons with glaucoma.

Better home lighting was associated with less frequent difficulty with IADLs (but not FoF or GQL) in a cohort enriched for glaucoma; no associations were noted with any measure for home hazards.

The association between a pharmacy-based estimate of medication adherence and surgical and laser treatment in glaucoma patients.

Lower PDC was associated with an increased likelihood of undergoing any non-medical intervention.

Discrepancy Between Real-World Objective Functioning and Subjective Quality of Life in Visually Impaired Adults.

Female gender, depressive symptoms, and greater visual field damage are associated with greater subjective vision-related disability than predicted by objective functional impairment.

The Impact of Medication Storage Location on Glaucoma Eyedrop Adherence: A Home-Based Assessment Using Electronic Monitoring.

Medication storage location and administration time significantly influence glaucoma medication adherence, while immediate environmental conditions around storage locations were less impactful.

Outcomes of a Physical Activity Intervention in Patients With Glaucoma: A Feasibility Study.

Patients with glaucoma enrolled in a structured PA intervention increased mean PA by at least 50% over 7 weeks, retaining activity for 6 months, with some IOP declines but no VF changes.

Ophthalmological Examination and Imaging Features that Better Predict Risk of Angle Closure in Siblings.

Structural features of eyes with angle closure may assist in stratifying the risk of angle closure in patients' siblings.
