Hybrid Deep Learning on Single Wide-field Optical Coherence tomography Scans Accurately Classifies Glaucoma Suspects.

The HDLM protocol outperforms standard OCT and VF clinical metrics in distinguishing healthy suspect eyes from eyes with early glaucoma.

A Single Wide-Field OCT Protocol Can Provide Compelling Information for the Diagnosis of Early Glaucoma.

A single-page report based upon a single, wide-field OCT scan has the information needed to diagnose early glaucoma with excellent sensitivity/specificity.

Greater Physical Activity Is Associated with Slower Visual Field Loss in Glaucoma.

Increased walking, greater time spent doing moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, and more time spent in nonsedentary activity were associated with slower rates of VF loss in a treated population of patients with glaucoma, with an additional…

Structure-Function Agreement Is Better Than Commonly Thought in Eyes With Early Glaucoma.

There is good agreement between structural and functional damage, even in eyes with confirmed early glaucomatous damage, if both 24-2 and 10-2 VFs are obtained, and abnormal locations on the VFs are compared to abnormal regions seen on OCT macular and disc scans.

New Recommendations for the Treatment of Systemic Hypertension and their Potential Implications for Glaucoma Management.

Monitoring Glaucomatous Functional Loss Using an Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Dashboard.

The AI-enabled glaucoma dashboard, developed using a large VF dataset containing a broad spectrum of visual deficit types, has the potential to provide clinicians with a user-friendly tool for determination of the severity of glaucomatous…

Four Questions for Every Clinician Diagnosing and Monitoring Glaucoma.

Finally, the fourth question is: "When do you look at OCT images?

Predictive Value of the Water Drinking Test and the Risk of Glaucomatous Visual Field Progression.

IOP peaks detected with the WDT were predictive of future visual field progression in a treated POAG population. This stress test could be a useful tool for risk assessment in daily practice.

Optical Coherence Tomography Can Be Used to Assess Glaucomatous Optic Nerve Damage in Most Eyes With High Myopia.

For most eyes with high myopia, there is sufficient information in OCT scans to allow for accurate diagnosis of GON.

The Association Between Clinical Features Seen on Fundus Photographs and Glaucomatous Damage Detected on Visual Fields and Optical Coherence Tomography Scans.

Focal and diffuse signs of glaucoma damage seen on stereophotographs often match damage shown on VFs and sdOCT.

Patient Concerns Regarding Suspended Ophthalmic Care Due to COVID-19.

We found a majority of our patients were concerned about limitations in access to ophthalmic care and were fearful of disease progression.

Baseline Age and Mean Deviation Affect the Rate of Glaucomatous Vision Loss.

Older age and worse MD at baseline are associated with more rapid VF progression in this large dataset.

An Examination of the Frequency of Paravascular Defects and Epiretinal Membranes in Eyes With Early Glaucoma Using En-face Slab OCT Images.

Eyes with early glaucoma have a higher frequency of PDs and ERMs than suspects or controls and exhibit PDs even in the absence of ERMs or high myopia.

The Effect of Therapeutic IOP-lowering Interventions on the 24-hour Ocular Dimensional Profile Recorded With a Sensing Contact Lens.

Incisional glaucoma surgery had a more pronounced effect on GAT and CLS parameters than laser and drugs.

The Challenge of Managing Bilateral Acute Angle-closure Glaucoma in the Presence of Active SARS-CoV-2 Infection.

We report a rare case of bilateral acute angle-closure glaucoma associated with hyponatremia.

Frequency of Optical Coherence Tomography Testing to Detect Progression in Glaucoma.

With high specificity and less variability than perimetry, a 6-month testing interval provides a reasonable trade-off for following glaucoma patients using OCT.

Comparison of Intraocular Pressure Changes During the Water Drinking Test Between Different Fluid Volumes in Patients With Primary Open-angle Glaucoma.

There was overall good agreement between WDT results with different fluid volumes. The response to the volume loads tested in this study was not influenced by the BMI.

Did the OCT Show Progression Since the Last Visit?

Instead of relying on the GPA analysis or summary statistics, one needs to evaluate RNFL and ganglion cell+inner plexiform layer probability maps and circumpapillary OCT B-scan images.

Elevation of the intraocular pressure is associated with focal, topographical decreases in the OCT-A measured microvasculature in glaucoma: A proof-of-concept.

Effects of the relative positioning between the disc-fovea angle and localized optic disc defects on the 10-2 visual field results in glaucoma.

The vertical foveal location and its position relative to the ITD was associated with loss of sensitivity at 10-2 VF locations in the superior hemifield.

Perimetry Testing in the 10th Decade of Life.

A total of 3951 VF tests were collected from 289 patients (530 eyes) who met the inclusion criteria.

A Morphologic Model of Glaucomatous Damage to the Macular Ganglion Cell Layer in Myopic Eyes.

The proposed model of glaucomatous damage patterns in macula GCL is applicable to myopic eyes, even with coexisting macular pathology. In cases deviating from the model, clinicians are advised to seek causes besides glaucoma.

Effects of Swimming Goggles Wearing on Intraocular Pressure, Ocular Perfusion Pressure, and Ocular Pulse Amplitude.

SG provoked acute IOP elevation and disturbance in the ocular hemodynamics, which was associated with larger orbital rim area and greater SG elastic force.

Effect of Switching From Latanoprost to Bimatoprost in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma Patients Who Experienced Intraocular Pressure Elevation During Treatment.

Our study suggests that glaucoma patients on latanoprost who experienced IOP elevation during the course of therapy may benefit from switching to bimatoprost. This alternative can potentially postpone more costly or invasive treatment options.

A Region-of-Interest Approach for Detecting Progression of Glaucomatous Damage With Optical Coherence Tomography.

For detecting progression of local RNFL damage in patients with glaucoma, an OCT ROI approach appears superior to the OCT global RNFL thickness measure typically used.
