Factors Associated with Progression of Japanese Open-Angle Glaucoma with Lower Normal Intraocular Pressure.

In Japanese patients with NTG with mean baseline IOP of 12.3 mmHg without treatment, estimated mean MD slope for 5 years was -0.33 dB/year; probability of glaucoma progression based on VF or disc/peripapillary end points at 5 years was 66%.

Assessment of Iris Trabecular Contact in Eyes with Gonioscopic Angle-Closure.

A greater extent of ITC measured by AS-OCT, not angle-closure determined by gonioscopy, was associated with a greater odds of PAC/PACG in eyes with gonioscopic angle-closure.

Differences in Factors Associated With Glaucoma Progression With Lower Normal Intraocular Pressure in Superior and Inferior Halves of the Optic Nerve Head.

In NTG eyes, greater BMI, myopia, and v-C/D are characteristic risk factors for faster progression in the superior half of the optic nerve head (ONH), whereas long-term IOP fluctuation is the significant risk factor in…

Structure Function Relationships of Vessel Density and Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness in Early Glaucomatous Eyes With High Myopia.

In EG eyes with HM, cpVD was less affected by AL in comparison to cpRNFLT and cpVD-VFS correlation was significant in all 24-2/10-2 VF sectors. AL-associated advantages of cpVD-VFS over cpRNFLT-VFS were observed.

The occurrence of optic disc haemorrhage in primary open-angle glaucoma eyes with lower normal pressure and its relating factors.

Disc haemorrhage (DH) occurrence probability of Japanese healthy NTG patients with mean IOP of 12.4 mmHg and no systemic and/or topical treatment was 31% at 5 years.

Visual Field of Eyes with Peripapillary Intrachoroidal Cavitation and Its Association with Deep Optic Nerve Head Structural Changes.

Although PICC alone did not necessarily cause corresponding VFD, PICC in the temporal sectors should be carefully examined for VFD.

Outcomes of PreserFlo MicroShunt in Japanese Glaucoma Patients With a History of Glaucoma Surgery.

PMS implantation significantly lowered IOP and reduced the need for medications in eyes with a history of glaucoma surgery, regardless of prior conjunctival manipulation.

Cumulative Incidence of Bleb-Related Infections after Mitomycin C-Augmented Filtration Surgery over 10 Years in Japanese Patients with Glaucoma.

This study is the first to show that the risk of BRI continues to increase 10 years after MMC-augmented filtration surgery.

Diagnostic criteria of anterior segment swept-source optical coherence tomography to detect gonioscopic angle closure.

Applying the normative percentiles of angle measurements yielded a higher diagnostic performance than ITC for detecting angle closure on gonioscopy.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of prophylactic laser peripheral iridotomy for primary angle-closure suspect in Japan.

Our results indicate that prophylactic LPI for middle-aged patients with PACS is cost-effective in Japan.

Factors associated with visual field or structure progression occurring first in a prospective study on patients with untreated open-angle glaucoma with normal intraocular pressure.

In OAG eyes with lower normal IOP, DH was significantly associated with Structure First deterioration, and age was significantly associated with Field First deterioration.

Contributing factors for intraocular pressure control in patients with mostly normal-tension glaucoma after initial Ex-PRESS drainage device implantation.

The implementation of bleb needling after Ex-PRESS surgery in the late postoperative period was suggested to be the main risk factor for achieving lower IOP.
