Multiple Temporal Lamina Cribrosa Defects in Myopic Eyes with Glaucoma and Their Association with Visual Field Defects.

Myopic eyes with OAG exhibited LC defects and large pores at similar locations as those without OAG, but in greater numbers, suggesting that these focal alternations of the LC in myopic eyes may evolve into larger defects when glaucoma develops in the eye.

Factors Associated with Progression of Japanese Open-Angle Glaucoma with Lower Normal Intraocular Pressure.

In Japanese patients with NTG with mean baseline IOP of 12.3 mmHg without treatment, estimated mean MD slope for 5 years was -0.33 dB/year; probability of glaucoma progression based on VF or disc/peripapillary end points at 5 years was 66%.

Optic Disc Margin Anatomic Features in Myopic Eyes with Glaucoma with Spectral-Domain OCT.

The myopic eyes with OAG exhibited characteristic optic disc margin anatomic features that was considered to be derived from myopic deformation of the eye.

Focal Lamina Cribrosa Defect in Myopic Eyes With Nonprogressive Glaucomatous Visual Field Defect.

In myopic eyes, there are specific patters of LC defect that are suggested to be associated with nonprogressive glaucomatous VFD.

Prevalence of Glaucoma and Its Systemic Risk Factors in a General Japanese Population: The Hisayama Study.

The prevalence of glaucoma was approximately 8%, probably due to the increase in the Japanese aging population.

Glucose Tolerance Levels and Circumpapillary Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness in a General Japanese Population: The Hisayama Study.

Our analyses revealed that poorer glucose tolerance was significantly associated with the reduction of cpRNFLT in a Japanese general population, suggesting that the loss of neural tissue in the eye begins at the prediabetic stage,…

Differences in Factors Associated With Glaucoma Progression With Lower Normal Intraocular Pressure in Superior and Inferior Halves of the Optic Nerve Head.

In NTG eyes, greater BMI, myopia, and v-C/D are characteristic risk factors for faster progression in the superior half of the optic nerve head (ONH), whereas long-term IOP fluctuation is the significant risk factor in…

Differences in Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness as Assessed on the Disc Center and Bruch's Membrane Opening Center in Myopic Eyes.

There was a significant amount of difference in the sectorial cpRNFLT acquired on the disc center and that acquired on the BMO center in the myopic eyes, which was considered to be derived from unique optic disc margin anatomy in these eyes.

Clinical Assessment of Scleral Canal Area in Glaucoma Using Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography.

Significantly larger ASC area was first observed in the living human eyes with glaucoma compared to the normal eyes.

The occurrence of optic disc haemorrhage in primary open-angle glaucoma eyes with lower normal pressure and its relating factors.

Disc haemorrhage (DH) occurrence probability of Japanese healthy NTG patients with mean IOP of 12.4 mmHg and no systemic and/or topical treatment was 31% at 5 years.

Association between corneal hysteresis and glaucoma in a Japanese population: the Hisayama Study.

These results demonstrated a significant inverse association between corneal hysteresis and the likelihood of glaucoma, suggesting that the measurement of corneal hysteresis would provide useful information for elucidating the aetiology of glaucoma.

Factors associated with visual field or structure progression occurring first in a prospective study on patients with untreated open-angle glaucoma with normal intraocular pressure.

In OAG eyes with lower normal IOP, DH was significantly associated with Structure First deterioration, and age was significantly associated with Field First deterioration.

Lamina Cribrosa Depth Variation Measured by Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Within and Between Four Glaucomatous Optic Disc Phenotypes.

The LC was displaced posteriorly in OAG group compared to the normal group.
