Myopia: Histology, clinical features, and potential implications for the etiology of axial elongation.

Myopic axial elongation is associated with various non-pathological changes.

Prevalence and Associated Factors of Pseudoexfoliation in a Russian Population: The Ural Eye and Medical Study.

In this typical, ethnically mixed, population from Russia with an age of 40+ years, PEX prevalence (3.6%; 95% CI, 3.1-4.1) was associated with older age, Russian ethnicity, higher intraocular pressure and open-angle glaucoma.

Intraocular Pressure and Its Associations in a Russian Population: The Ural Eye and Medical Study.

IOP was associated with a multitude of systemic and ocular parameters, the associations of which may be considered in defining the normal range of IOP.

Association of Systemic Medication Use with Glaucoma and Intraocular Pressure: The European Eye Epidemiology Consortium.

We identified a potentially harmful association between use of CCBs and glaucoma prevalence.

Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness and Rim Area Profiles in Asians: Pooled Analysis from the Asian Eye Epidemiology Consortium.

In this large pooled analysis of Asian population studies, Indian and Japanese eyes were observed to have thinner RNFL profiles. These findings suggest the need for an ethnic-specific normative database to improve glaucoma detection.

Prevalence of Glaucoma in Europe and Projections to 2050: Findings from the European Eye Epidemiology Consortium.

The current and future burden of glaucoma in Europe may be substantially higher than previously estimated, with a considerable proportion of disease in the general population remaining undetected.

Positive and Negative Associations of Myopia with Ocular Diseases in Population-Based Studies.

Myopia is associated with a lower prevalence of DR, AMD, and ACG and a lower incidence of DR and AMD, whereas high myopia more than moderate myopia is associated with a higher prevalence and incidence of OAG.

Macular pigment optical density and its determinants in a Russian population: the ural eye and medical study.

A higher RPD prevalence and lower stage of open-angle glaucoma were ophthalmological disorders associated with a higher MPOD in a multivariable analysis, including parameters of older age, pseudophakia, female sex, rural region, lower body mass…

Atrial fibrillation and flutter and ocular diseases. The Ural eye and medical study and the Ural very old study.

In these multi-ethnic populations from Russia, AF prevalence was not associated with any major ocular disease and may not play a major role in the pathogenesis of these disorders.

Mortality and ocular parameters and diseases.

Diabetic retinopathy was the only major ophthalmic disease or parameter, in addition to vision impairment, which was associated with an increased death risk.

Glaucomatous, Glaucoma-Like, and Non-Glaucomatous Optic Neuropathy in High Myopia: The Two-Continent Study.

Highly myopic eyes had considerable prevalences of NGON and GLON/GON, usually higher than 20% and 10%, respectively.

Ocular and General Determinants of Intraocular Pressure: The Two-Continent Eye Study.

Among numerous ocular and systemic factors influencing IOP readings (with a relative low correlation coefficient), corneal curvature radius was one of the main ocular determinants.

Prevalence of Glaucoma in an Old Population: The Ural Very Old Study.

In this population-based recruited multiethnic cohort aged 85+ years, the prevalence factors of glaucoma-related blindness and MSVI were relatively high, and the majority of glaucomatous eyes were untreated and had single IOP readings of ≤21 mmHg.
