Consistency of Bruch Membrane Opening Detection as Determined by Optical Coherence Tomography.

Although BMO locations were consistent in most cases, in some cases, there were inconsistencies in BMO locations determined by OCT, especially in myopic eyes with peripapillary atrophy.

Membrane-tube-type glaucoma shunt device for refractory glaucoma surgery.

The Finetube MT showed promising surgical outcomes as a treatment for refractory glaucoma, with minimal risk of postoperative ocular hypotony or tube-related complications.

Novel membrane-tube type glaucoma shunt device for glaucoma surgery.

MicroMT implantation is a novel therapy that may reduce IOP safely and effectively, with no apparent risk of postoperative ocular hypotony. Glaucoma surgery using this device may be a good alternative to conventional glaucoma surgery.

Reproducibility of Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer and Macular Ganglion Cell Layer Thickness Measurements by Optical Coherence Tomography in Myopic Eyes.

Long-term reproducibility of RNFL and GCIPL thickness measurements in moderate-to-high myopia was comparable to that of low-to-no myopia, except RNFL thickness in the temporal quadrant.

Long-term comparison of postoperative refractive outcomes between phacotrabeculectomy and phacoemulsification.

The long-term postoperative refractive outcomes of phacotrabeculectomy and phacoemulsification alone were not significantly different in eyes with OAG, regardless of preoperative AL.

Re: Lavinsky et al.: Can macula and optic nerve head parameters detect glaucoma progression in eyes with advanced circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer damage? (Ophthalmology. 2018;125:1907-1912).

Effect of Inconsistent Optical Coherence Tomography Scan Location on Glaucoma Progression Analysis.

Inconsistent OCT scan location induced changes in RNFL thickness that were not completely compensated despite the use of OCT GPA, especially when the "R1" registration method was applied.

Utility of Central 10 Degrees Visual Field Test With Size V Stimulus in End-Stage Glaucoma.

The central 10-degree visual field test with a size V stimulus provided more information than the test with a size III stimulus in end-stage glaucoma.

Providing Confidence Intervals in Survival Analysis.

Treatment Outcomes of Slow Coagulation Transscleral Cyclophotocoagulation for Medically Uncontrolled Glaucoma in Korean Patients.

Slow coagulation transscleral cyclophotocoagulation effectively lowers intraocular pressure in Korean patients with medically uncontrolled glaucoma. This provides a useful treatment option, reducing medication needs with manageable complications.

Surgical Outcomes of Additional Ahmed Glaucoma Valve Implantation in Refractory Glaucoma.

A second AGV implantation can be a good choice of surgical treatment when the first AGV has failed to control IOP.

Segmentation Errors in Macular Ganglion Cell Analysis as Determined by Optical Coherence Tomography.

Although the OCT segmentation algorithm accurately detected macular GCIPL thickness in most eyes without macular disorders, in some cases, segmentation errors were found, especially in myopic eyes.

Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness Measurement Repeatability for Cirrus HD-OCT Retinal Tracking System During Eye Movement.

Cirrus HD-OCT retinal tracking system may enhance RNFL thickness measurement repeatability under certain, but not all, eye movement conditions.

Diagnostic ability of macular ganglion cell asymmetry for glaucoma.

Macular ganglion cell asymmetry analysis showed good glaucoma diagnostic ability, especially in early-stage glaucoma. However, it has limited usefulness in other stages of glaucoma.

Application of the ISNT Rule to Neuroretinal Rim Thickness Determined Using Cirrus HD Optical Coherence Tomography.

The ISNT rule with rim thickness measured using Cirrus HD-OCT has limited clinical value in the diagnosis of glaucoma. There is a topographic difference in inferior rim loss according to the stages of glaucomatous damage.

Factors Affecting Interocular Differences in Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness.

Characteristics of eyes with inner retinal cleavage.

Inner retinal cleavage was found in eyes with high myopia or ERMs. Inner retinal cleavage was associated with structural changes distinct from those associated with glaucomatous RNFL defects.
