Comparison of subconjunctival microinvasive glaucoma surgery and trabeculectomy.

No statistically significant differences were found between trabeculectomy, XEN45gelstent implantation and PreserfloMicroShunt implantation regarding surgical success after 6 months.

Intraocular Pressure and Its Relation to Ocular Geometry: Results From the Gutenberg Health Study.

IOP values are related to ocular geometry, as shown in this population-based study on Caucasian subjects.

Association of Systemic Medication Use with Glaucoma and Intraocular Pressure: The European Eye Epidemiology Consortium.

We identified a potentially harmful association between use of CCBs and glaucoma prevalence.

Optic Nerve Head Morphology in Adults Born Extreme, Very, and Moderate Preterm With and Without Retinopathy of Prematurity: Results From the Gutenberg Prematurity Eye Study.

The present study provides evidence that individuals born extremely preterm have increased VCDR in adulthood.

Bleb grading by photographs versus bleb grading by slit-lamp examination.

MaBAGS shows good reproducibility. Using such a grading system improves precision of the description of a highly variable clinical finding. The reliability of grading by slit-lamp examination exceeds that of grading on photographs.

Association of Birth Weight with Peripapillary Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness in Adulthood-Results from a Population-Based Study.

Our data show that there is a weak relationship between birth weight and pRNFL thickness in adulthood.

Outcomes of Open Bleb Revision After PreserFlo MicroShunt Failure in Patients With Glaucoma.

At 12 months, open revision with MMC for bleb fibrosis after failed PreserFlo implantation effectively and safely reduced IOP with a similar medication burden.

Prevalence of Glaucoma in Europe and Projections to 2050: Findings from the European Eye Epidemiology Consortium.

The current and future burden of glaucoma in Europe may be substantially higher than previously estimated, with a considerable proportion of disease in the general population remaining undetected.

Results of childhood glaucoma surgery over a long-term period.

We found very promising surgical results in our childhood glaucoma patient group. Surgical success in both congenital and secondary glaucoma was high.

Peripheral corneal thickness and associated factors - results from the population-based German Gutenberg Health Study.

The results of the present study suggest that several general and ocular parameters are associated with peripheral corneal thickness.

Change of Intraocular Pressure Over 5 Years and its Relationship to Cardiovascular Parameters: Results From the Gutenberg Health Study.

This population-based study found a relationship between IOP change over 5 years and BMI and systolic blood pressure change, respectively. These findings suggest the importance of monitoring cardiovascular risk factors in IOP management.

Epidemiology and Treatment of Patients With Primary Open Angle Glaucoma in Germany: A Health Claims Data Analysis.

Our study provides insights into epidemiology and routine care of POAG in Germany and HCRU in prevalent patients.

Characteristics and Treatment Outcomes of Hypotony Maculopathy Postglaucoma Filtering Surgery: An Optical Coherence Tomography-Based Study.

Bleb revision procedures for HM following glaucoma filtering surgery show promising outcomes, including notable improvements in visual acuity and IOP.

Rising glaucoma burden demands evidence-based strategies.

The Association of Polygenic Risk Score With Glaucoma and Its Related Traits: Results From Two German Population-Based Studies.

Higher GPRS is associated with glaucoma prevalence, higher IOP and thinner pRNFL in two population-based studies in Germany. These associations were particularly seen in older participants.

Altered Neuroretinal Tissue in Childhood Cancer Survivors: Data From the German CVSS Study.

The pRNFL is thinner in CCS with most common tumor entities, except lymphoma and germ cell tumors. Cranial radiation and platin derivates had negative effects on the pRNFL thickness.

New Threshold for Large Optic Discs in Children Using Bruch's Membrane Opening Area.

RNFL and BMO-MRW of pediatric optic discs with BMO area 2.8 mm2 should be interpreted with caution, because they seem to be strongly influenced by optic disc size.

Distribution of Anterior Chamber Angle Width and Correlation With Age, Refraction, and Anterior Chamber Depth-The Gutenberg Health Study.

A total of 3014 subjects (48% female) with a mean age of 58.6 ± 10.4 years were included in this study.
