Preoperative intraocular pressure as a predictor of selective laser trabeculoplasty efficacy.

The pressure-lowering effect of SLT can best be predicted by the individual IOP level before treatment. Patients with mean diurnal IOP levels below 14 mmHg might not benefit from the procedure at all.

A new biomechanical glaucoma factor to discriminate normal eyes from normal pressure glaucoma eyes.

The DBGF shows to be sensitive and specific to discriminate healthy from NPG eyes.

Bleb Morphology After Mitomycin-C Augmented Trabeculectomy: Comparison Between Clinical Evaluation and Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography.

AS-OCT allows an analysis of the clinically invisible deeper layers of the filtering bleb.

Corneal Biomechanical Changes After Trabeculectomy and the Impact on Intraocular Pressure Measurement.

Despite a marked IOP reduction and a possible weakening of the ocular walls after trabeculectomy, corneal structural tissue properties are not altered, and therefore, the accuracy of IOP measurements is not changed postoperatively.

Retinal venous pressure is higher than the airway pressure and the intraocular pressure during the Valsalva manoeuvre.

During the VM, the RVP was increased compared with the ∆AirP.

Comparison of Central Corneal Thickness Measurements Using Optical and Ultrasound Pachymetry in Glaucoma Patients and Elderly and Young Controls.

In young subjects, ultrasound pachymetry measurements are higher than they are with optical pachymetry.

Argon laser peripheral iridoplasty for chronic primary angle-closure and angle-closure glaucoma in caucasians.

Argon laser peripheral iridoplasty (ALPI) is a safe and effective procedure for reducing appositional angle-closure and thus IOP in nonacute PAC and PACG patients.

Effect of selective laser trabeculoplasty on ocular haemodynamics in primary open-angle glaucoma.

Selective laser trabeculoplasty probably does not induce any pharmacological changes effecting systemic blood pressure or ocular blood flow as topical IOP-lowering medication might do, nor does it change biomechanical properties of the eye as surgery could.

Response to the comment on "The biomechanical properties of the cornea of patients with glaucoma treated with anti-glaucoma topical medication".

Effect of selective laser trabeculoplasty on corneal biomechanics.

Selective laser trabeculoplasty does not change corneal biomechanical properties as measured with the ORA in already pretreated patients with glaucoma.

Analyzing biomechanical parameters of the cornea with glaucoma severity in open-angle glaucoma.

Before interpreting corneal biomechanical parameters, it seems important to adjust the measured data for their underlying influencing factors.

Nocturnal blood pressure in primary open-angle glaucoma.

To judge the nocturnal BP situation of an individual patient, it is important to do this in relation to the daytime BP level.
