Slow Reading in Glaucoma: Is it due to the Shrinking Visual Span in Central Vision?

Our results showed that slower reading speed in glaucoma was closely related to the shrinkage of the visual span.

Higher Contrast Requirement for Letter Recognition and Macular RGC+ Layer Thinning in Glaucoma Patients and Older Adults.

Our results show that both glaucoma and normal aging likely bring about a thinning of the macular RGC+ layer; the macular RGC+ layer thickness appears to be associated with the contrast requirements for letter recognition…

Social Determinants of Health and Glaucoma Screening and Detection in the SIGHT Studies.

These findings were consistent across each of the SIGHT Studies, which are located in 3 geographically distinct US locations in rural Alabama, small urban locations in Michigan, and urban New York City.

Intraocular Pressure Matters.

Additionally, maintaining stable IOP by minimizing both diurnal and long-term fluctuations may further enhance disease control and reduce the risk of worsening.

Association Between Optic Nerve Head Prelaminar Schisis and Visual Field Progression in Glaucoma.

The presence and severity of severe prelaminar schisis were associated with faster VF progression, suggesting its potential as a biomarker to identify patients at higher risk of progression and to guide clinical management in glaucoma.
