Ginkgo biloba extract not effective at lowering IOP among patients with glaucoma
Administration of Ginkgo biloba extract did not significantly improve IOP or other endpoints of interest among patients with glaucoma or healthy volunteers, according to a review published in PLoS One.
Virtual reality headsets ‘transformative’ for visual field testing
ORLANDO — Virtual reality headsets for visual field testing in glaucoma offer a variety of benefits for the patient, the practice and the ophthalmologist, according to a speaker.
Glaucoma-related visual field loss linked to higher, variable blood pressure
Among patients with suspected or confirmed glaucoma, higher average blood pressure and greater variability in blood pressure were associated with faster visual field loss, according to a study published in JAMA Ophthalmology.
Use of IV tranexamic acid may not improve visual field clarity during hip arthroscopy
Results of a study showed administration of IV tranexamic acid within 15 minutes of incision did not significantly improve surgeons’ visual field clarity during hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement.

Retinal thickness may help predict visual field progression in glaucoma
Circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer and ganglion cell inner plexiform layer measurements may help predict visual field worsening in glaucoma, although each is more effective in different stages of disease, according to research.
Standard, single-treatment strategy sufficient for most patients with untreated glaucoma
An escalating monotherapy regimen was just as effective as multitherapy for most patients with untreated glaucoma, although those with higher baseline IOP may benefit from more intensive treatment, according to a study conducted in Sweden.
