Evaluation of Ocular Surface Disease in Patients With Glaucoma: Clinical Parameters, Self-report Assessment, and Keratograph Analysis.

Our findings not only confirm the high prevalence of clinical findings of OSD in glaucoma patients but also reveal new objective parameters measured by keratograph analysis.

Inner and Outer Retinal Contributions to Pupillary Light Response: Correlation to Functional and Morphologic Parameters in Glaucoma.

The results provide evidence that in moderate and severe stages of POAG, both the inner and outer retinal contributions to PLR are affected.

Gonioscopy-Assisted Transluminal Trabeculotomy for Glaucoma: 1-Year Outcomes and Success Predictors.

GATT was effective and safe at lowering IOP with or without cataract extraction in OAG. Patients 60 years or older had a higher risk of failure compared with those younger in age.

Structural Analysis of Glaucoma Brain and its Association With Ocular Parameters.

Glaucoma patients presented a decreased occipital pole surface area in both hemispheres that independently correlated with functional and structural ocular parameters.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Glaucoma Evaluation.

Moreover, these brain abnormalities are also correlated with clinical, optic nerve head, and visual field findings.

Interventions to Improve Reading Performance in Glaucoma.

Patients with glaucoma showed significantly slower reading speeds than similarly aged control participants. Reading speed was improved by increasing contrast, but not by increases in line spacing or font size.

Is Reading Performance Impaired in Glaucoma Patients With Preserved Central Vision?

Patients with mild to moderate glaucoma had worse reading performance compared with similarly aged controls, despite both having preserved central vision.

Peripheral Microvascular Abnormalities Associated with Open-Angle Glaucoma.

Significant peripheral microvascular abnormalities were found in patients with OAG compared to controls, suggesting that microvascular changes might play a role in the pathogenesis of the disease.

Minimum Rim Width and Peripapillary Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness for Diagnosing Early to Moderate Glaucoma.

MRW and RNFLT measurements showed comparable diagnostic performance in discriminating early to moderate glaucoma from healthy eyes in a Brazilian multiracial population.

Assessment of Structural Progression in Glaucoma Through Automated Optic Nerve Head Hemoglobin Measurements.

The GIP index, based on automated ONH Hb measurements demonstrated good sensitivity to differentiate progressors from controls, especially in cases in which progression was documented through structural NR changes.

Clinical Implications of Specific Features of the New Susanna Glaucoma Drainage Device.

Effects of Melatonin Supplementation on Sleep Quality in Patients with Advanced Glaucoma: A Randomized, Double-Masked, Placebo-Controlled Crossover Trial.

Melatonin supplementation did not significantly improve sleep quality compared to a placebo in patients with advanced glaucoma, based on both subjective and objective measures.

Slow-Coagulation Continuous-Wave Cyclophotocoagulation vs. Micropulse Laser Treatment Procedure in Refractory Glaucoma: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Slow-coagulation continuous-wave cyclophotocoagulation demonstrated superior IOP control and lower surgical failure rates compared to MP-LT.

Re: Chan et al.: Effect of preoperative trabecular meshwork pigmentation and other eye characteristics on outcomes of combined phacoemulsification/minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (Ophthalmol Glaucoma. 2024; 7:271-281).

Clinical Profiles of Glaucomatous Patients With High-tension and Low-tension Optic Disc Hemorrhages: A Comparative Study.

Patients developing DHs with treated IOPs in the low teens seem to more frequently fit in a profile represented by women, NTG diagnosis and greater VF loss.

Predicting the Therapeutic Efficacy of Laser Peripheral Iridotomy for Individuals With Asymptomatic Narrow Angle: The Triple Hump Sign.

Response: Evaluation of Ocular Surface Disease in Patients With Glaucoma: Clinical Parameters, Self-report Assessment, and Keratograph Analysis.

Asymmetric Macular Structural Damage Is Associated With Relative Afferent Pupillary Defects in Patients With Glaucoma.

Objective assessment of pupillary responses using a pupillometer was associated with asymmetric macular structural damage in patients with glaucoma.

Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cell activity is associated with decreased sleep quality in patients with glaucoma.

This study demonstrated that decreased ipRGC function caused by glaucoma affected pupillary response and sleep quality.
