Increased stroke risk among patients with open-angle glaucoma: a 10-year follow-up cohort study.

Patients who were diagnosed with OAG were more likely to experience subsequent stroke than comparison group without OAG, and the risk was greater for older adults and males.

Increased risk of open-angle glaucoma among patients with diabetes mellitus: a 10-year follow-up nationwide cohort study.

Patients diagnosed with diabetes were more likely to develop open-angle glaucoma compared with patients without diabetes.

High Pulse Wave Velocity Is Associated With Decreased Macular Vessel Density in Normal-Tension Glaucoma.

High PWV is associated with decreased mVD in NTG patients, suggesting that systemic arterial stiffness might be involved in the pathogenesis of NTG.

Systemic Arterial Stiffness Is Associated With Structural Progression in Early Open-Angle Glaucoma.

PWV is a significant predictor of the location of structural progression in open-angle glaucoma. Vascular insufficiency may be an important aspect in the pathogenesis of glaucoma.

Long-term Intraocular Pressure Fluctuation Is a Risk Factor for Visual Field Progression in Advanced Glaucoma.

Long-term IOP fluctuations and disc hemorrhage are independent and additive risk factors of visual field progression in advanced glaucoma even at low IOPs.

The Effect of CHIR 99021, a Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3β Inhibitor, on Transforming Growth Factor β-Induced Tenon Fibrosis.

Our results demonstrated the effect of GSK-3β inhibition on the regulation of TGF-β-mediated fibrosis of HTFs, suggesting GSK-3β to be a potential target for maintaining bleb function after glaucoma filtration surgery.

Factors Associated With Differences in the Initial Location of Structural Progression in Normal-Tension Glaucoma.

Different clinical factors were associated with the initial site of structural glaucoma progression in patients with NTG depending on its peripapillary or macular location, and these findings suggest possible differences in underlying mechanisms of glaucoma…

Alterations of Macular Structure in Non-Glaucomatous Subjects With Obstructive Pulmonary Function.

Obstructive pulmonary function is associated with reduced macular VD in subjects without glaucoma.

Systemic Arterial Stiffness and Choroidal Microvascular Insufficiency on the Structural Progression of Normal Tension Glaucoma.

In NTG eyes, GCIPL thinning was faster when choroidal MvD and high systemic arterial stiffness were present.

Response to Letter to the Editor: Long-Term Intraocular Pressure Fluctuation is a Risk Factor for Visual Field Progression in Advanced Glaucoma.

Longitudinal corneal hysteresis changes predict structural progression in medically controlled, early-to-moderate, open-angle glaucoma with a history of refractive surgery.

Longitudinal decrease in CH over time was greater in those showing structural progression than those without progression among medically controlled, early-to-moderate OAG with a history of LRS.

Clinical characteristics of open-angle glaucoma progression with peripapillary microvasculature dropout in different locations.

In OAG eyes, the rates of RNFL and GCIPL thinning were comparable regardless of MvD locations.
