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.

Petrolatum-based ointment application induces swelling of the PRESERFLO Microshunt.

Direct contact between petrolatum-based ophthalmic ointment and the SIBS-based MicroShunt induced markedly, time-dependent swelling that compromises the its structural integrity. Thus, the use of ophthalmic ointment should be avoided in patients with an exposed MicroShunt.

Comparison of the Humphrey Field Analyzer and MP-3 Microperimeter in Patients With Glaucoma, Classified by Severity and Misalignment of Test Points.

Reliability indices differed significantly between the two devices in severe POAG cases. A shift in the sensitivity of the test points of the two VF tests was detected in approximately one-half of the eyes.

A Comparative Study of the Handheld IC200 and Slit Lamp-mounted ST500 Rebound Tonometers with Goldmann Applanation Tonometry.

The ST500 shows good agreement with GAT over a large range of IOP and significantly higher repeatability compared to the IC200 and GAT, suggesting it may be advantageous in clinical settings where topical anesthesia or skilled staff are unavailable.

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.

A Novel Approach To Predict Glaucomatous Impairment in the Central 10° Visual Field, Excluding the Effect of Cataract.

Accurate prediction of genuine glaucomatous VF impairment was achieved using pointwise TD with RFM. No merit was observed by incorporating the GCIPL into this model.

Abilities of circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and vascular density to discriminate stages in primary open-angle glaucoma.

Our results suggest that cpVD is better for follow-ups after moderate stage. The combination of cpRNFLT and cpVD may improve VF estimation compared to cpRNFLT alone.
