Treatment patterns and medication adherence of patients with glaucoma in South Korea.

Approximately, one-third of the patients were non-adherent, and males and increased daily number of administration were associated with non-adherence.

Relationship between high serum ferritin level and glaucoma in a South Korean population: the Kangbuk Samsung health study.

High serum ferritin level was associated with a high risk of glaucoma in men, but not in women.

Relationships Between Anthropometric Measurements and Intraocular Pressure: The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

In healthy women, greater fat mass was associated with higher IOP, and greater muscle mass was associated with lower IOP after adjusting for weight and BMI. Fat and muscle influenced IOP in women independently.

Elucidation of the Strongest Factors Influencing Rapid Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thinning in Glaucoma.

Our regression tree model demonstrated that larger LCCI, and then the presence of cMvD were the first and second strongest prognostic factors for faster progressive RNFL thinning.

Risk Factors Associated With Glaucomatous Progression in Pseudoexfoliation Patients.

Factors associated with progression differed between PXG and POAG groups. Higher baseline IOP and requirement for a greater number of glaucoma medications were related with PXG progression.

Intereye Comparison of Lamina Cribrosa Curvature in Normal Tension Glaucoma Patients With Unilateral Damage.

Glaucomatous eyes have more steeply curved LC than fellow healthy eyes. This finding suggests that LC undergoes significant remodeling in NTG eyes.

Lamina Cribrosa Moves Anteriorly After Trabeculectomy in Myopic Eyes.

LC depth reduction was observed after trabeculectomy in myopic eyes. The degree of LC depth reduction was not related to the degree of myopia.

Associations Among Pregnancy, Parturition, and Open-angle Glaucoma: Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2010 to 2011.

A history of three or more deliveries and an age at first delivery younger than 23 years were associated with increased risk of OAG.

A Path Analysis of Effects of Patients' Underlying Conditions, Treatment Satisfaction, and Adherence on Quality of Life Among Korea Glaucoma Patients.

Higher education and better treatment satisfaction had positive effects on HRQOL both in direct and indirect ways whereas comorbidities indirectly showed negative associations with HRQOL.

Rate of Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thinning in Glaucomatous Eyes With Optic Disc and Parapapillary Deep-Layer Microvasculature Loss.

The coexistence of MvD-P and MvD-D was associated with faster RNFL thinning than MvD-P alone or no dropout, which suggested that observing the optic disc deep microvasculature along with parapapillary choroidal layer using Swept-source optical…

Association Between Optic Disc Perfusion Determined by Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography and Visual Field Progression in Glaucoma.

Optic disc perfusion, represented as dVD, may be a useful biomarker that correlates well with functional deterioration in POAG eyes.

Comparative Analysis of Lamina Parameters in Nonglaucomatous Eyes With and Without Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome.

PXFS eyes show significant LC thinning, potentially representing early structural changes preceding glaucoma. Monitoring LC parameters in PXFS eyes may facilitate early detection of patients at risk of disease progression.

Lamina Cribrosa Steepness Index to Measure the Morphology of the Lamina Cribrosa in Myopic Eyes With Optic Disc Distortion.

The strong correlation between the LCCI and LCSI indicates that the latter may substitute the former for evaluating LC morphology in myopic eyes where ONH distortion blocks the visibility of the whole LC.

Different intraocular pressure-lowering effects of latanoprostene bunod across glaucoma subtypes: a 12-month real-world clinical study.

LBN demonstrated differential IOP-lowering effects across glaucoma subtypes, with a notably enhanced effect on PXFG.

Relationship Between Periodontitis and Open Angle Glaucoma: The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

This study shows a significant association between periodontitis and glaucoma, especially in patients aged 40 and older, men, and those with diabetes. Future follow-up studies are needed to elucidate the mechanism behind this association.

Factors Associated With Lamina Cribrosa Microvasculature Determined Through Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography.

Reduced LCVD was associated with an increased LCCI in all spectrums of POAG. LC deformation may affect the ONH microvasculature in glaucoma.

Association between Renal Function and Open-Angle Glaucoma: The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2010-2011.

This population-based study of South Korean adults showed that low eGFR levels are independently associated with POAG.

Association Between Platelet Function and Disc Hemorrhage in Patients With Normal-Tension Glaucoma: A Prospective Cross-Sectional Study.

Location of Initial Visual Field Defects in Glaucoma and Their Modes of Deterioration.

The initial location and subsequent direction of worsening of VFD were associated with different systemic and ocular factors.

Association Between Platelet Function and Disc Hemorrhage in Patients With Normal-Tension Glaucoma: A Prospective Cross-Sectional Study.

Our results suggest that platelet function is significantly associated with disc hemorrhage in patients with normal-tension glaucoma.

Intraocular pressure and coronary artery calcification in asymptomatic men and women.

A higher IOP is significantly associated with the presence of CAC regardless of conventional cardiovascular risk factors.
