Differences in clinical presentation of primary open-angle glaucoma between African and European populations.

In this multi-ethnic comparative study, Sub-Saharan Africans present at a younger age with lower visual acuity, higher IOP, larger VCDR, than SAC and Dutch participants.

Genetic African Ancestry Is Associated With Central Corneal Thickness and Intraocular Pressure in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma.

This study demonstrated that a higher proportion of GAA was associated with a thinner CCT and a higher IOP in POAG patients.

Attenuation Coefficients From SD-OCT Data: Structural Information Beyond Morphology on RNFL Integrity in Glaucoma.

This study demonstrated that RNFL AC provides complementary information on the RNFL's health compared with RNFL thickness measurements alone.

Distribution and Rates of Visual Field Loss across Different Disease Stages in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma.

Our findings suggest that in POAG, VF damage is worse in the superior hemifield than in the inferior hemifield.

Motility Changes and Diplopia After Baerveldt Glaucoma Drainage Device Implantation or After Trabeculectomy.

BGI surgery was significantly associated with postoperative diplopia and impaired eye motility (reduced ductions), mostly present in abduction, elevation, elevation in 25° adduction, and elevation in 25° abduction.

Contrast-to-Noise Ratios for Assessing the Detection of Progression in the Various Stages of Glaucoma.

The RNFL thickness is more sensitive for detecting glaucomatous progression at the onset of glaucoma compared to the functional measures, while the latter are more sensitive for detecting progression in the later stages of glaucoma.

A very short version of the Visual Function Questionnaire (VFQ-3oo7) for use as a routinely applied Patient-Reported Outcome Measure.

The very short, but valid, VFQ-3oo7 can be applied to evaluate the patient's perceived vision-related health status in routine evaluations of treatments in regular care, with a small burden for patients.

The long-term postoperative effect of the Baerveldt glaucoma drainage device and of a trabeculectomy on the corneal endothelium.

Long-term ECD in eyes that underwent a BGI was considerably lower compared with eyes that underwent a TE, mainly in the peripheral cornea.

Is a pillow a risk factor for glaucoma?

Turning the head into a pillow gave a large and clinically significant increase in the estimated IOP in the simulated sleep position.

Frequency of Visual Fields Needed to Detect Glaucoma Progression: A Computer Simulation Using Linear Mixed Effects Model.

Irregular visual field test frequency at relatively short intervals initially and longer intervals later on in the disease provided acceptable results in detecting glaucoma progression.

Ocular motility changes and diplopia in sutured versus unsutured implantation of the Baerveldt glaucoma device.

One year postoperatively, the prevalence of diplopia was not significantly different between patients with the sutured plate and patients with the free plate technique.

Pointwise and Region-Wise Course of Visual Field Loss in Patients With Glaucoma.

In the current study, nonlinear regression models showed a better fit compared to the linear regression models in tracking VF loss behavior.

Contrast-to-Noise Ratios to Evaluate the Detection of Glaucomatous Progression in the Superior and Inferior Hemiretina.

Similar to full retinas, detecting conversion to glaucoma in hemiretinas is more sensitive with OCT than SAP, whereas with more advanced disease, SAP is more sensitive for detecting progression.

Shared Care in Monitoring Stable Glaucoma Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

In general, the hospital-based shared care glaucoma follow-up closely observed its working protocol and patients preferred it slightly over the usual care provided by medical doctors.

Global Visit Effects in Point-Wise Longitudinal Modeling of Glaucomatous Visual Fields.

By incorporating the GVE in the longitudinal modeling of VF data, better estimates may be obtained of the rate of progression as well as of predicted future sensitivities.
