Macular imaging by optical coherence tomography in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma.

Furthermore, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer thickness and deviation maps can provide additional information essential for distinguishing glaucomatous changes from other, myopia-associated or macular disease-associated changes.

Development of Topographic Scoring System for Identifying Glaucoma in Myopic Eyes: A Spectral-Domain OCT Study.

Our scoring system including OCT topographic parameters demonstrated to be beneficial for clinicians to differentiate real glaucomatous damage from myopic healthy eyes.

Assessment of Iridotrabecular Contact and Its Association With Intraocular Pressure After Phacoemulsification in Primary Angle Closure.

Quantitative assessment of circumferential ITC can predict postoperative IOP control after phacoemulsification, and thus it may be used as a reference for determining lens extraction in PACD eyes.

Comparison of the Circumpapillary Structure-Function and Vasculature-Function Relationships at Different Glaucoma Stages Using Longitudinal Data.

Significant longitudinal V-F relationships exist globally and regionally regardless of glaucoma stage but no longitudinal S-F relationship is present in advanced glaucoma.

Multicolor Imaging for Detection of Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Defect in Myopic Eyes With Glaucoma.

Multicolor imaging can visualize the glaucomatous RNFL defects in myopic eyes that are indistinguishable on conventional photography.

Progressive Macular Vessel Density Loss and Visual Field Progression in Open-angle Glaucoma Eyes with Central Visual Field Damage.

Progressive mVD loss is significantly associated with VF progression (including central VF progression) in the OAG eyes with CVF loss regardless of the glaucoma stage.

Spectral-domain Optical Coherence Tomography in Manifest Glaucoma: Its Additive Role in Structural Diagnosis.

SDOCT significantly enhanced the diagnostic accuracy of the glaucoma specialists' performance, showing its additive diagnostic value in judging glaucomatous structural damage, especially in the moderate stage of glaucoma.

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.

Morning Blood Pressure Surge and Glaucomatous Visual Field Progression in Normal-Tension Glaucoma Patients With Systemic Hypertension.

An increased MBPS at baseline is a significant independent predictor of subsequent VF progression in NTG patients with systemic hypertension.

Change of Choroidal Microvasculature Dropout After Trabeculectomy as Assessed by Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography.

CMvD AC reduction associated with IOP lowering was found after trabeculectomy. The long-term clinical relevance of postoperative CMvD reduction should be further investigated.

Anterior Chamber Angle and Intraocular Pressure Control After Phacoemulsification in Primary Angle Closure With Different Mechanisms.

SS AS-OCT parameters including ITC index and area showed different associations with postoperative IOP control, which should be considered in determination of lens extraction and treatment of PACD eyes.

Fast Central Visual Field Progression in Patients With Normal-Tension Glaucoma and Nocturnal Blood Pressure Dip.

Patients with NTG classified as over-dippers showed significantly faster central VF progression than non-dippers and dippers, with over 50% of over-dippers experiencing fast progression.

Peripapillary Versus Macular Thinning to Detect Progression According to Initial Visual Field Loss Location in Normal-Tension Glaucoma.

mGCIPL outperforms pRNFL at early follow-up in detecting VF progression in IPFS eyes but not INS eyes.

Optic Disc Hemorrhage and Glaucomatous Optic Neuropathy After Air Flight in an Eye with Intravitreal Gas.

Utility of targeted mean total deviation trend analysis for detecting progressive visual field changes in early-to-moderate stage glaucoma.

The rates of change in the TMTD are significantly faster than those for the mTD globally and in the VF-affected hemifields.

Prevalence, Awareness, and Risk Factors of Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma: Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2008-2011.

This was the first study to examine the prevalence, awareness, and risk factors of POAG in the Korean population using 4-year KNHANES data.

Long-Term Reproducibility of Macular Ganglion Cell Analysis in Clinically Stable Glaucoma Patients.

The macular GCIPL thickness and deviation maps showed excellent long-term intervisit reproducibility. Macular ganglion cell analysis can be considered as an effective means of monitoring glaucomatous progression in macula.

Diagnostic classification of macular ganglion cell and retinal nerve fiber layer analysis: differentiation of false-positives from glaucoma.

Abnormal OCT diagnostic classification should be interpreted with caution, especially in eyes with long axial lengths, large fovea-disc angles, and small optic discs.

Long-term follow-up in preperimetric open-angle glaucoma: progression rates and associated factors.

Our results support the importance of lowering IOP, even at the preperimetric stage. Preperimetric glaucoma patients with disc hemorrhage and insufficient IOP control should be carefully monitored for greater risk of progression.
