Genetic Variants Associated With the Onset and Progression of Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma.

The results indicate that non-IOP-related (optic nerve vulnerability) rather than IOP-related (IOP elevation) genetic variants may play an important role in the onset of POAG (family history of glaucoma) and that IOP-related rather than non-IOP-related…

Optic nerve head microcirculation in autosomal dominant optic atrophy and normal-tension glaucoma.

Petrolatum-based ointment application induces swelling of the PRESERFLO Microshunt.

Direct contact between petrolatum-based ophthalmic ointment and the SIBS-based MicroShunt induced markedly, time-dependent swelling that compromises the its structural integrity. Thus, the use of ophthalmic ointment should be avoided in patients with an exposed MicroShunt.

Comparison of the Humphrey Field Analyzer and MP-3 Microperimeter in Patients With Glaucoma, Classified by Severity and Misalignment of Test Points.

Reliability indices differed significantly between the two devices in severe POAG cases. A shift in the sensitivity of the test points of the two VF tests was detected in approximately one-half of the eyes.

A Novel Approach To Predict Glaucomatous Impairment in the Central 10° Visual Field, Excluding the Effect of Cataract.

Accurate prediction of genuine glaucomatous VF impairment was achieved using pointwise TD with RFM. No merit was observed by incorporating the GCIPL into this model.

Abilities of circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and vascular density to discriminate stages in primary open-angle glaucoma.

Our results suggest that cpVD is better for follow-ups after moderate stage. The combination of cpRNFLT and cpVD may improve VF estimation compared to cpRNFLT alone.
