Serial Changes in Lamina Cribrosa Depth and Neuroretinal Parameters in Glaucoma: Impact of Choroidal Thickness.

Lamina cribrosa depth should be measured from an anterior sclera reference plane to reduce the influence of choroidal thickness changes.

Value of 10-2 Visual Field Testing in Glaucoma Patients with Early 24-2 Visual Field Loss.

In this study of glaucoma patients with early damage with the 24-2 test, there was little evidence that adding the 10-2 test revealed additional undetected defects in the central visual field.

Discrepancy in Loss of Macular Perfusion Density and Ganglion Cell Layer Thickness in Early Glaucoma.

Less than one-third of patients with early glaucoma had more loss of perfusion compared with conventional structural loss in the macula.

Impact of Glaucoma Severity on Rates of Neuroretinal Rim, Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer, and Macular Ganglion Cell Layer Thickness Change.

The rates of MRW, RNFL, and GCL thickness change were not significantly influenced by glaucoma severity at baseline; however, GCL thickness was able to statistically contrast the rate of change between healthy subjects and glaucoma…

Comparing Five Criteria for Evaluating Glaucomatous Visual Fields.

No criteria had uniformly superior performance. Selection of criteria should consider the degree of damage anticipated and the desire for either higher sensitivity or specificity.

Rates of Visual Field Change in Patients With Glaucoma and Healthy Individuals: Findings From a Median 25-Year Follow-up.

The results of this cohort study suggest that over a median follow-up of more than 25 years, the rate of visual field change in patients receiving treatment for glaucoma was comparable to that of healthy individuals.

Peripapillary Retinal Segmentation in OCT Angiography.

Progressive Changes in the Neuroretinal Rim and Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer in Glaucoma: Impact of Baseline Values and Floor Effects.

Significant MRW and RNFLT changes were detected at all levels of baseline damage.

Sequence and Detectability of Changes in Macular Ganglion Cell Layer Thickness and Perfusion Density in Early Glaucoma.

A decrease in GCL thickness precedes a measurable decrease in macular PD. Early glaucomatous progression is more frequently detectable with changes in GCL thickness compared to macular PD.

Impact of ageing on progressive thinning of the retinal nerve fibre layer in glaucoma.

Normal aging contributes about half of the retinal nerve fiber layer thinning observed in treated glaucoma patients, with glaucoma itself causing additional significant thinning. This highlights the importance of distinguishing age-related changes from disease progression.

Variability of scan quality and perfusion density in longitudinal optical coherence tomography angiography imaging.

Perfusion density measurements are subject to increasing experience of either the operator or participant, or a combination of both. These findings have implications for the interpretation of longitudinal measurements with OCT-A.

Optic Disc Hemorrhages and Laminar Disinsertions in Glaucoma.

Laminar disinsertions occurred twice as frequently in eyes with ODHs; however, in individual patients, the spatial concordance between ODHs and laminar disinsertions was poor.

Beta and Gamma Peripapillary Atrophy in Myopic Eyes With and Without Glaucoma.

Subclassifying PPA with OCT into beta and gamma zones reveals association with different covariates, but does not enhance the diagnostic performance for glaucoma in a population of predominantly Caucasians myopic subjects.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Optical Coherence Tomography and Scanning Laser Tomography for Identifying Glaucoma in Myopic Eyes.

Bruch's membrane opening MRW is more sensitive than DM-RA and similar to RNFL thickness for the identification of glaucoma in myopic eyes and offers a valuable diagnostic tool for patients with glaucoma with myopic optic…

Diagnostic Accuracy of Glaucoma With Sector-Based and a New Total Profile-Based Analysis of Neuroretinal Rim and Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness.

The diagnostic accuracy of sectoral analysis was equivalent to total analysis. These results indicate that BMO-MRW and RNFLT defects were wide and deep enough for detection by conventional sectoral analysis.

Importance of Normal Aging in Estimating the Rate of Glaucomatous Neuroretinal Rim and Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Loss.

Age-related loss of neuroretinal parameters may explain a large proportion of the deterioration observed in treated patients with glaucoma and should be carefully considered in estimating rates of change.
