Human Versus Machine: Comparing a Deep Learning Algorithm to Human Gradings for Detecting Glaucoma on Fundus Photographs.

An M2M DL algorithm performed as well as, if not better than, human graders at detecting eyes with repeatable glaucomatous visual field loss.

The Effect of Age on Increasing Susceptibility to Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Loss in Glaucoma.

Age is a significant modifier of the relationship between IOP and glaucomatous loss in RNFL thickness over time.

Blood Pressure and Glaucomatous Progression in a Large Clinical Population.

When adjusted for IOP, lower MAP and DAP during follow-up were significantly associated with faster rates of RNFL loss, suggesting that levels of systemic BP may be a significant factor in glaucoma progression.

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.

Gonioscopy-Assisted Transluminal Trabeculotomy for Glaucoma: 1-Year Outcomes and Success Predictors.

GATT was effective and safe at lowering IOP with or without cataract extraction in OAG. Patients 60 years or older had a higher risk of failure compared with those younger in age.

Mitomycin C 0.2 mg/ml versus Mitomycin C 0.4 mg/ml during the Implantation of an Ab Externo Polystyrene-isobutylene-styrene Microshunt: A Mega-analysis.

Polystyrene-isobutylene-styrene microshunt implantation with MMC 0.4 mg/ml resulted in a higher success rate with greater IOP reduction compared with MMC 0.2 mg/ml.

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.

Influence of Bruch's Membrane Opening Area in Diagnosing Glaucoma With Neuroretinal Parameters From Optical Coherence Tomography.

RNFLT sensitivity was higher in eyes with larger BMOA; however, age and visual field damage may influence that association. MRW diagnostic accuracy was not dependent on BMOA.

24-2 SITA Standard versus 24-2 SITA Faster in Perimetry-Naive Normal Subjects.

The SS and SFR were associated with similar specificities in perimetry-naive individuals.

Minimum Rim Width and Peripapillary Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness for Diagnosing Early to Moderate Glaucoma.

MRW and RNFLT measurements showed comparable diagnostic performance in discriminating early to moderate glaucoma from healthy eyes in a Brazilian multiracial population.

Treatment of Primary Angle-Closure Suspect.

Bent Ab Interno Needle Goniotomy Versus Gonioscopy-Assisted Transluminal Trabeculotomy in Primary Open Angle Glaucoma: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

GATT eyes achieved higher success rates, lower mean IOPs and required less antiglaucoma medication than BANG eyes after 11-months.

Pattern of Long-Term Intraocular Pressure Variation Following Gonioscopy-Assisted Transluminal Trabeculotomy: Two-Year Outcomes.

Patients with clinically uncontrolled open angle glaucoma submitted to GATT or PHACOGATT achieved low mean IOPs and demonstrated stable IOP patterns.

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.

Intraoperative paclitaxel associated with lipid nanoparticles in trabeculectomy.

Paclitaxel Associated With Lipid Nanoparticles as a New Antiscarring Agent in Experimental Glaucoma Surgery.

The LDE-PTX/SC was effective in reducing the scarring process following trabeculectomy to the same extent as MMC, but with considerably less toxicity to the conjunctiva and ciliary body.

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.

Postoperative Complications in the Ahmed Baerveldt Comparison Study During Five Years of Follow-up.

Long-term rates of vision-threatening complications and complications resulting in reoperation were higher in the Baerveldt Glaucoma Implant than in the Ahmed Glaucoma Valve group over 5 years of follow-up.

Five-year treatment outcomes in the Ahmed Baerveldt comparison study.

Similar rates of surgical success were observed with both implants at 5 years.

Efficacy and safety of intravitreal bevacizumab in eyes with neovascular glaucoma undergoing Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation: 2-year follow-up.

Intravitreal bevacizumab may lead to regression of new vessels both in the iris and in the anterior chamber angle in patients with neovascular glaucoma undergoing Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation.

Surrogates for ocular perfusion pressure are not perfect--authors reply.
