Older age, shallow anterior chamber depth increase risk for primary angle-closure disease
Increasing age, higher IOP and shallower anterior chamber depth were linked with elevated risk for primary angle-closure disease, according to a study in Ophthalmology.
Greater IOP reduction achieved with once-daily vs. twice-daily fixed combination drops
Once-daily fixed combination bimatoprost, timolol and brimonidine more effectively reduced peak IOP compared with a twice-daily regimen in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma, according to a study in the Journal of Glaucoma.
Glaucoma severity linked to pupil response
Functional and structural glaucoma severity was associated with impaired intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cell function, according to a study published in Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science.
Age, gender, corneal thickness linked to elevated IOP in glaucoma, OHT
Age, gender and central corneal thickness were among factors associated with elevated IOP in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension, according to a study published in British Journal of Ophthalmology.
Handheld chromatic pupillometry may determine functional loss in patients with glaucoma
A newly developed handheld chromatic pupillometer has shown accuracy in revealing pupillometric dysfunctions in patients with varying severity of glaucoma, according to data published in British Journal of Ophthalmology.
Self-tonometry consistently measures diurnal IOP fluctuations
Self-tonometry consistently evaluated diurnal IOP fluctuations in patients with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma, according to a crossover clinical treatment trial in Optometry and Vision Science.
iStent inject safe, efficacious in open-angle glaucoma
The iStent inject was safe and effective for treating multiple types of primary open-angle glaucoma individually and in conjunction with cataract surgery, according to data published in Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery.
Most patients have difficulty with proper eyedrop instillation
Better patient instruction and education can help increase correct eyedrop instillation, which is affected by age, vision and upper limb mobility, according to a study published in the Journal of Glaucoma.
Patient perception associated with adherence to glaucoma medication
Self-reports of better near activities function correlated with an increased adherence to medication in patients with glaucoma, according to research published in the Journal of Glaucoma.
Face mask-related fogging may skew glaucoma testing results
Researchers found that poorly fitted face masks can cause visual field artifacts that may be misinterpreted during standard automated perimetry as glaucoma progression or low test reliability.
