Objective Assessment of Activity Limitation in Glaucoma with Smartphone Virtual Reality Goggles: A Pilot Study.

Smartphone-based virtual reality may be a portable objective simulation test of activity limitation related to glaucomatous visual loss.

Glaucoma Australia educational impact study: a randomized short-term clinical trial evaluating the association between glaucoma education and patient knowledge, anxiety and treatment satisfaction.

Patient-centred glaucoma-related education and support services may improve knowledge and can reduce anxiety for newly diagnosed glaucoma patients. All glaucoma patients should be adequately counselled about the nature of the disease and its management.

Patient-reported Outcomes, Functional Assessment, and Utility Values in Glaucoma.

Standardizing and improving methods of patient-centered data collection and analysis in glaucoma studies are imperative.

Activity Limitation in Glaucoma: Objective Assessment by the Cambridge Glaucoma Visual Function Test.

The CGVFT is a computerized visual challenge test administered to a cohort of glaucoma patients.

Health Economic Analysis in Glaucoma.

While the cost-effectiveness of glaucoma care, in general, is not in dispute, especially over longer time frames, the inability to measure changes in utility in shorter time frames impedes the uptake of innovations around the world.

A Retrospective Review Comparing the Safety and Efficacy of 120 Versus 160 Applications of Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty.

SLT produces a significant IOP-lowering effect and treatment with 160 applications per 360 degrees may be more effective than 120 applications per 360 degrees.

Repeatability of Online Circular Contrast Perimetry Compared to Standard Automated Perimetry.

OCCP allows visual field assessment on any computer screen with no additional hardware.

A Case of Glaucoma in Hereditary Spherocytosis.

We hypothesize that glaucoma and hereditary spherocytosis may be associated. Hereditary spherocytosis may be a potential risk factor for glaucoma by causing impaired blood supply to the optic nerve.

Meaningful Patient Partnerships: A Qualitative Study of Patient Perspectives and Shared Decision-Making Regarding Glaucoma Surgery.

Six key themes were identified: (1) patients feeling rushed; (2) onus on the patient to seek information; (3) undercurrents of anxiety; (4) perceptions of surgery shaped by understanding and expectations of the disease and its…

Comparing Online Circular Contrast Perimetry and the Esterman Visual Field Test in Glaucoma for Driving-relevant Vision.

Eighty patients were enrolled in the study, with a mean age of 69 years (+/- 13.4 SD).

Online Circular Contrast Perimetry: Validity and Repeatability of Home Performance.

OCCP retains a similar diagnostic accuracy and repeatability in home environments on personal devices compared with clinic-based environments and has the potential to be utilized as a remote tool for glaucoma screening and surveillance.

The Visual Function Questionnaire: Utility Index: Does It Measure Glaucoma-related Preference-based Status?

The VFQ-UI shows potential to measure preference-based status in a cohort of glaucoma patients, with the means to calculate utility.

Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty Reduces Intraocular Pressure Peak in Response to the Water Drinking Test.

Patients with open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension treated with SLT have significantly reduced peak IOPs and fluctuation in IOP in response to the WDT.

Surgical Outcomes of Combined Trabeculectomy-Cyclodialysis for Glaucoma: Author Reply.

Impact of age-related macular degeneration in patients with glaucoma: understanding the patients' perspective.

Vision-related activity limitation and preference-based status are negatively impacted by severe glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration. Patients with both conditions perceive increased difficulty walking safely compared with patients with glaucoma alone.

Cataract and quality of life in patients with glaucoma.

Cataract influences glaucoma-related QoL among glaucoma patients of all severity levels and is an important cause of potentially reversible visual impairment among glaucoma patients.

Surgical outcomes of combined trabeculectomy-cyclodialysis for glaucoma.

Combined trabeculectomy-cyclodialysis produces sustained lowering of IOP for long periods of time, despite a cataractogenic effect.
