A Pilot Study to Evaluate the Oral Microbiome and Dental Health in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma.

The number of teeth (an oral health indicator) and alterations in the amounts of oral bacteria may be associated with glaucoma pathology. Further investigation of the association between dental health and glaucoma is warranted.

Smoking Is Associated with Higher Intraocular Pressure Regardless of Glaucoma: A Retrospective Study of 12.5 Million Patients Using the Intelligent Research in Sight (IRIS®) Registry.

Current smokers and past smokers have higher IOP than patients who never smoked. This difference is higher in patients with an underlying glaucoma diagnosis.

Prospective Study of Oral Health and Risk of Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma in Men: Data from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study.

Although the number of natural teeth was not associated with risk of POAG, recent tooth loss was associated with an increased risk of POAG.

Endophthalmitis Rates and Types of Treatments After Intraocular Procedures.

This study found that the incidence of endophthalmitis following intraocular procedures appears to have decreased substantially over the past 20 years while prompt vitrectomy is being used less frequently as primary treatment than in the…

Bruch Membrane Opening Detection Accuracy in Healthy Eyes and Eyes With Glaucoma With and Without Axial High Myopia in an American and Korean Cohort.

As BMO location inaccuracy was 2.4 times more likely in eyes with high axial myopia regardless of diagnosis, optical coherence tomography images of high myopes should be reviewed carefully, and when possible, BMO location should…

Diagnostic Accuracy of Macular Thickness Map and Texture En Face Images for Detecting Glaucoma in Eyes With Axial High Myopia.

The current results suggest that our novel en face texture-based analysis method can improve on most investigated macular tissue thickness measurements for discriminating between highly myopic glaucomatous and highly myopic healthy eyes.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Optic Nerve Head and Macula OCT Parameters for Detecting Glaucoma in Eyes With and Without High Axial Myopia.

The diagnostic accuracy for pRNFL and GCIPL was high for high axial myopic eyes and shows promise for glaucoma detection in high myopes.

Multimodal Deep Learning Classifier for Primary Open Angle Glaucoma Diagnosis Using Wide-Field Optic Nerve Head Cube Scans in Eyes With and Without High Myopia.

Combining OCT-based RNFL thickness maps with texture-based en face images showed a better ability to discriminate between healthy and POAG than thickness maps alone, particularly in high axial myopic eyes.

Wide-Field Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging Improves Rate of Change Detection in Progressing Glaucomatous Eyes Compared With Standard-Field Imaging.

In this cohort that includes eyes with and without high axial myopia, the mean rate of retinal nerve fiber layer thinning measured using SWF images was faster in eyes with progressing glaucoma than in eyes with nonprogressing glaucoma.
