Ocular Determinants of Peripapillary Vessel Density in Healthy African Americans: The African American Eye Disease Study.

Thinner RNFL and longer AL were the most influential ocular determinants of lower peripapillary perfusion in healthy AA eyes.

Racial and Sociodemographic Disparities in the Detection of Narrow Angles before Detection of Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma in the United States.

Most patients who receive a new diagnosis of PACG in the United States do not have a prior diagnosis of ANA.

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Blindness Among Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma Patients in the United States: An IRIS Registry Analysis.

Blindness affects 1 of 9 patients with newly diagnosed PACG in the IRIS Registry.

Rates and Patterns of Diagnostic Conversion from Anatomical Narrow Angle to Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma in the United States.

Annual risk of diagnostic conversion from ANA to PACG is relatively low overall; elderly patients are at higher risk whereas patients receiving cataract surgery are at lower risk.

Effectiveness of Glaucoma Screening and Factors Associated with Follow-up Adherence among Glaucoma Suspects in a Safety-Net Teleretinal Screening Program.

The majority of patients referred as glaucoma suspects on TDRS completed a follow-up examination, and nearly a quarter of those examined received a confirmed glaucoma diagnosis.

Patterns and Disparities in Recorded Gonioscopy During Initial Glaucoma Evaluations in the United States.

More than 70% patients undergoing initial glaucoma evaluation in the United States do not have a record of gonioscopy, especially elderly, non-Hispanic White, and pseudophakic patients in non-Northeast regions.

Clinical Utility of Triplicate En Face Image Averaging for Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in Glaucoma and Glaucoma Suspects.

Triplicate averaging improves visualization of the RPC layer and the diagnostic accuracy of VSD for glaucoma. The impact of image averaging on OCTA diagnostic performance and other potential applications warrants further exploration.

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.

Optical Coherence Tomography Alteration of the Choroid and Lamina Cribrosa in Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome and Glaucoma.

This meta-analysis confirms previously reported decreases in CT and LC thickness in patients with PXG and PXS.

Conjunctival Venular Hemodynamic Biomarkers in Glaucoma.

The finding of reduced conjunctival venular wall shear stress in POAG supports the vascular theory of glaucoma, implicating endothelial dysfunction. Conjunctival wall shear stress may serve as a novel biomarker for glaucomatous vascular damage.

Practice Patterns and Sociodemographic Disparities in the Clinical Care of Anatomical Narrow Angles in the United States.

More than a quarter of patients with newly diagnosed ANA receive treatment with LPI.

Long-term Persistent Angle Closure and Anatomic Changes after Laser Iridotomy in Suspected Primary Angle-Closure.

Laser iridotomy sustained angle widening in two-thirds of patients. However, a thicker iris at baseline in narrower angles predicted persistent closure, highlighting the need for tailored management in these cases.
