Diabetes Exacerbates the Intraocular Pressure-Independent Retinal Ganglion Cells Degeneration in the DBA/2J Model of Glaucoma.

Diabetes can act as an IOP-independent risk factor for the early progression of glaucoma promoting oxidative stress and inflammation-mediated RGC dysfunction, glial reactivity, and cellular death.

Head-down Posture in Glaucoma Suspects Induces Changes in IOP, Systemic Pressure, and PERG That Predict Future Loss of Optic Nerve Tissue.

Baseline PERG, IOP, and systemic blood pressure, together with their changes upon HDT, may have predictive value for future loss of optic nerve tissue in GS.

Next Generation PERG Method: Expanding the Response Dynamic Range and Capturing Response Adaptation.

The PERGx high signal-to-noise ratio may allow meaningful recording in advanced stages of optic nerve disorders. In addition, it quantifies response adaptation, which may be selectively altered in glaucoma and optic neuropathy.

Neurovascular Changes Associated With the Water Drinking Test.

In addition to IOP elevation, WDT was associated with significant changes of hemodynamic parameters and retinal ganglion cell function in young healthy subjects.
