Temporal Raphe Sign for Discrimination of Glaucoma from Optic Neuropathy in Eyes with Macular Ganglion Cell-Inner Plexiform Layer Thinning.

In clinical practice, determining whether the temporal raphe sign appears on OCT macular scans can be a useful tool for discrimination of glaucomatous from nonglaucomatous mGCIPL thinning.

Rates of Ganglion Cell-Inner Plexiform Layer Thinning in Normal, Open-Angle Glaucoma and Pseudoexfoliation Glaucoma Eyes: A Trend-Based Analysis.

We determined the GCIPL thinning rates for normal and undertreated OAG and PXG eyes. Differences existed among the normal eyes and glaucoma types, with PXG progressing significantly faster than OAG.

Development of Topographic Scoring System for Identifying Glaucoma in Myopic Eyes: A Spectral-Domain OCT Study.

Our scoring system including OCT topographic parameters demonstrated to be beneficial for clinicians to differentiate real glaucomatous damage from myopic healthy eyes.

Facial Port-Wine Stain Phenotypes Associated with Glaucoma Risk in Neonates.

Among the newborns with facial PWS, 1) a greater extent of birthmarks involving the S2 area, and 2) lesions including the lower eyelid were associated with higher risk of glaucoma development within the neonatal period.

Incidence of Sturge-Weber Syndrome and Risk of Secondary Glaucoma: A Nationwide Population-based Study Using a Rare Disease Registry.

This study identified birth-cohort SWS incidence and determined secondary-glaucoma risk in a population of East Asian ethnicity. These data could help to promote better understanding of the epidemiologic features of SWS patients.

Diurnal Variation of Choroidal Thickness in Primary Open-angle Glaucoma.

The mCT in the POAG patients did not increase in the evening relative to the healthy subjects' pattern. However, the diurnal mCT values measured in the healthy subjects and POAG patients were not statistically significant.

Long-Term Follow-up on Glaucoma Patients With Initial Single-Hemifield Defect: Progression Patterns and Associated Factors.

In 108 POAG eyes with an initial single-hemifield defect, 41.7% showed involvement of the opposite hemifield during the average 8.0-year follow-up.

Nationwide Incidence of Infantile Cataract Surgery and Risk of Secondary Glaucoma in a Population-based Birth Cohort.

This study identified the birth cohort incidence of IC surgery and secondary glaucoma risk in individuals of East Asian ethnicity.

Association of Intereye Visual-Sensitivity Asymmetry With Progression of Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma.

Among POAG eyes with comparable hemifield VFDs, eyes without a corresponding hemifield defect in the fellow eye showed faster rates of progression compared with those with a corresponding hemifield defect.

Optic Disc Microhemorrhage in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma: Clinical Implications for Visual Field Progression.

Micro-DH was found prior to macro-DH detection in a significant proportion of POAG patients; micro-DH, moreover, was associated with earlier and faster VF progression.

Comparison of Anterior Segment Parameters among Koreans, Chinese, and White Persons.

The Korean cohort demonstrated smaller average LV and relative LV.

Predicting the Therapeutic Efficacy of Laser Peripheral Iridotomy for Individuals With Asymptomatic Narrow Angle: The Triple Hump Sign.

PACS eyes indicating the positive-TH sign showed, at post-LPI 1 month, a greater IOP decrease.

Optic disc swelling in acute primary angle closure: Associated factors and longitudinal OCT changes.

ODS in AACG is linked to delayed treatment and larger pupil size, suggesting more severe ischemic stress.

Corrigendum to "Association Between Alpha-Blockers for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and Acute Angle-Closure Glaucoma". Am J Ophthalmol. 2026;282:197-205.

Association Between Alpha-Blockers for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and Acute Angle-Closure Glaucoma.

This study demonstrates a significant, duration-dependent association between α-blocker use for BPH and an increased risk of AACG.

Comparison of microRNA expression in pseudoexfoliation syndrome with and without glaucoma.

This study indicates potential differences in miRNA expression between PXSG and PXSWG, with several showing suggestive associations with key clinical parameters.

Ocular and Systemic Risk Factors and Clinical Implications in Glaucoma Patients With Retinal Vein Occlusion.

These findings suggest that glaucoma and RVO may share common pathophysiologic mechanisms, with elevated IOP potentially contributing to the development of RVO.

Trends in Childhood Glaucoma Prevalence and Incidence in South Korea, 2002-2019: A Nationwide Population-Based Study.

This study identified childhood glaucoma prevalence and incidence in a general population of East Asian ethnicity.
