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

Peripapillary Vessel Density in Glaucomatous Eyes: Comparison Between Pseudoexfoliation Glaucoma and Primary Open-angle Glaucoma.

Peripapillary vessel density was lower in eyes with PXG than in eyes with POAG of similar severity.

Factors influencing vision-related quality of life according to glaucoma severity.

Visual acuity is the most influential factor on VRQOL in patients with glaucoma. Preservation of VA should be strongly prioritized to maintain good VRQOL.

Vision-related quality of life according to location of visual field loss in patients with glaucoma.

Four different regions of the IVF had a similarly important impact on subscales of the NEI VFQ-25 in glaucoma patients.

Vision-related Quality of Life in Korean Glaucoma Patients.

Visual function parameters are important for the vision-related quality of life of Korean glaucoma patients, notably for worse eye visual acuity and IVF MD.

Visual Field Defects in Young Patients With Open-angle Glaucoma: Comparison Between High-tension and Normal-tension Glaucoma.

Young patients with NTG showed asymmetric VF defects in the paracentral area, whereas those with HTG did not show such asymmetric defects.

Eye Drop Dispenser Type and Medication Possession Ratio in Patients With Glaucoma: Single-Use Containers Versus Multiple-Use Bottles.

The type of eye drop dispenser affects the consumption of glaucoma medication. Physicians should consider the type of eye drop dispenser when assessing glaucoma medication adherence.

Localized Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Defects in Red-free Photographs Versus En Face Structural Optical Coherence Tomography Images.

Localized RNFL defects detected in OCT en face structural images of the superficial retinal layer showed high topographic correlation with defects detected in red-free photographs.

Comparison of Retinal Vessel Diameter Between Open-Angle Glaucoma Patients With Initial Parafoveal Scotoma and Peripheral Nasal Step.

Retinal arteriolar diameter was narrower in OAG patients with initial PFS than in those with initial PNS, especially in the NTG group. This suggests that the initial location of the VF defect may be associated with…

Localized Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Defect Location Among Red-free Fundus Photographs, En Face Structural Images, and Cirrus HD-OCT Maps.

Localized RNFL defects detected in red-free photographs showed the highest topographic correlation with defects detected in OCT en face images. En face structural images may aid in identifying the localized RNFL defects in glaucomatous eyes.

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.

Effects of Stress and Strain on the Optic Nerve Head on the Progression of Glaucoma.

In early-to-moderate stage POAG, the rate of RNFL thickness decrease was influenced by both the mean and maximum strain on the LC.

Comparison of the Progression of Localized Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Defects in Red-free Fundus Photograph, En Face Structural Image, and OCT Angiography Image.

Localized RNFL defects detected in red-free photographs showed high topographic correlation with defects detected in OCT en face structural images, and this correlation was also noted in eyes with progressive glaucoma.

The association between asymmetric stress distribution on the lamina cribrosa and glaucoma progression.

Asymmetric stress distribution with ocular movement was higher in the progression group.

Asymmetric stress distribution on lamina cribrosa in glaucoma patients with high myopia.

High myopia leads to increased lamina cribrosa strain and asymmetric stress distribution during ocular rotation.

Elevated lamina cribrosa-sclera interface stress in glaucomatous eyes with optic disc haemorrhage.

This study demonstrates that increased stress at the LC-sclera interface may contribute to the occurrence of ODH in glaucoma during adduction in the temporal region.

Longitudinal Changes in Peripapillary and Macular Vessel Densities in Glaucomatous Eyes With a Single-Hemifield Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Defect.

Although pVD and mVD decreased in the affected hemiretina, the reduction in pVD was significant compared with that in the intact hemiretina.

Comparison of Vision-related Quality of Life Between Normal Tension Glaucoma and Primary Open-angle Glaucoma.

Overall VRQOL in patients with NTG and POAG was found to be similar. However, social functioning and dependency were significantly worse in those with POAG. These findings are relevant to supporting glaucoma patients.

Letter to the Editor: Relative Flow Index as a Novel Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Biomarker in Primary Open Angle Glaucoma.

Retinal vessel diameter in bilateral glaucoma suspects: comparison between the eye converted to glaucoma and the contralateral non-converted eye.

In bilateral glaucoma suspects, there was a significant inter-eye difference in CRAE at baseline between eyes that converted to glaucoma and those that did not.

Long-term Surgical Outcomes of 180-Degree Suture Trabeculotomy in Korean Patients With Primary Congenital Glaucoma.

The 180-degree suture trabeculotomy performed for PCG had a significant IOP-lowering effect and caused no remarkable complications.

Effect of Lovastatin on Wound-Healing Modulation After Glaucoma Filtration Surgery in a Rabbit Model.

Postoperative injection of lovastatin improved bleb survival in the rabbit model of GFS. Therefore, lovastatin may have potential as a novel wound-modulating agent after GFS.

Author Response: Diagnostic Ability of Retinal Arteriolar Diameter Measurements in Glaucoma.

Diagnostic Ability of Retinal Vessel Diameter Measurements in Open-Angle Glaucoma.

The diagnostic ability of CRAE for detecting OAG was good, which was not much worse than that of average RNFL thickness. This finding suggests the potential usefulness of RVD for glaucoma detection.

Effect of Different Head Positions in Lateral Decubitus Posture on Intraocular Pressure in Treated Patients With Open-Angle Glaucoma.

Low head position elevates IOP of the dependent eyes of medically treated OAG patients compared with neutral head position in the lateral decubitus posture.

Habitual sleeping position and asymmetric structural and functional loss in patients with open angle 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.

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.
