Overdiagnosis of open-angle glaucoma in the general population: the Thessaloniki Eye Study.

The overdiagnosis of OAG was substantial in this elderly, Caucasian population. The overdiagnosis of glaucoma has not been previously addressed in population-based studies and needs to be further explored.

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.

Prospective study of glaucoma referrals across Europe: are we using resources wisely?

The accuracy of referrals was poor in the UK and the other countries. Requiring a combination of criteria and raising the IOP threshold for IOP-only referrals are needed to cut waste in clinical care.

Twelve-Year Incidence and Baseline Risk Factors for Pseudoexfoliation: The Thessaloniki Eye Study (An American Ophthalmological Society Thesis).

This is one of the very few longitudinal population-based studies that has specifically assessed the incidence of PEX.

Factors Associated With Retinal Vessel Diameters in an Elderly Population: the Thessaloniki Eye Study.

Our study confirms previous reports about the association of age and BP with vessel diameters.

Tolerable rates of visual field progression in a population-based sample of patients with glaucoma.

The majority of patients with glaucoma in our study would have a maximum tolerable rate of progression slower than -1dB/year in their better eye.

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.

Twelve-Year Incidence of Open-angle Glaucoma: The Thessaloniki Eye Study.

The incidence of OAG was similar or higher compared with other White populations. The incidence of glaucoma in those with PEX was higher compared with the incidence of glaucoma in those without PEX.

Association Between Dietary Salt Intake and Open Angle Glaucoma in the Thessaloniki Eye Study.

In TES participants assessed for OAG in the prevalence and incidence phases, frequent salt intake may be associated with increased OAG in those who take antihypertensive medication.

Expert Consensus Recommendations for the Management of Ocular Surface Inflammation in Patients With Glaucoma.

These recommendations for the management of OSI in glaucoma should be useful to guide decision-making in clinical practice.

Preservative-Free Bimatoprost 0.01% Ophthalmic Gel for Glaucoma Therapy: A Phase III Randomized Controlled Trial.

PFB 0.01% ophthalmic gel has the same efficacy in lowering IOP as PB 0.01% and demonstrated less aggravation of conjunctival hyperemia at weeks 6 and 12.

Rethinking Prophylactic Laser Peripheral Iridotomy in Primary Angle-Closure Suspects: A Review.

The ZAP-Trial and ANA-LIS clearly represent the best available data on PACS management, additional parameters however may need to be considered when physicians face patients in clinic.

Referral for glaucoma surgery and types of surgery in different European regions in 2025, the EURACCUR study.

European glaucoma care shows marked regional differences in surgical practices and referral timeliness. Frequent late referrals are associated with advanced disease, highlighting a need for improved early intervention to prevent vision loss.

European Glaucoma Society research priorities for glaucoma care.

We have developed a list of priorities for glaucoma research involving clinicians and patients from different European countries that will help guide research efforts and investment.

European Glaucoma Society - A guide on surgical innovation for glaucoma.

This guide from the European Glaucoma Society offers crucial advice on surgical innovation for glaucoma, emphasizing rigorous evaluation and patient safety. It promotes responsible development and adoption of new surgical techniques to improve patient outcomes.

Structure-Function Correlation Using Confocal Laser Ophthalmoscope in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma and Pseudoexfoliative Glaucoma.

At a similar level of functional damage, POAG subjects presented with more pronounced structural damage than PEXG subjects. The correlation between HRT and visual field parameters was more evident in POAG, compared with PEXG.
