Recent reports indicate that eyes with normal pressure glaucoma have larger optic discs than eyes with primary open angle glaucoma or normal eyes. This study was performed to find whether, in normal pressure glaucoma, a large disc is associated with more optic nerve damage than a small disc. ...
Experts aren’t sure how uveitis causes uveitic glaucoma, but they think that it may happen because uveitis can cause inflammation and scar tissue in the middle of the eye. This may damage or block the part of the eye where fluid drains out, causing high eye pressure and leading to uveitic...
That value was defined based on previous study on choroidal thickness, which showed that the mean choroidal thickness in normal eye was 135.56 (±42.66)40. The value (50 micrometers) is less than 2 standard deviation from mean40. Peripapillary scleral deformation (notching) is defined as small...
To investigate the changes in choroidal thickness (CT), axial length (AL), and ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) accompanying intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction after trabeculectomy. Thirty-nine eyes of 39 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma uncont
Administering to a glaucoma affected eye a combination of an intraocular pressure lowering prostaglandin FP receptor agonist, and a prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor other than diclofenac or fluorometholoneAdministering to a glaucoma affected eye a combination of an intraocular pressure lowering prostaglandin ...
Managing glaucoma in childhood is one of the greatest challenges in the field of glaucoma, especially with regard to surgical treatment.1Childhood glaucoma is characterised by elevated intraocular pressure (IOP)-related damage to the eye, which can be caused by a diverse group of conditions.2Its ...
Although our sample of children with unilateral glaucoma was small, unaffected eyes showed normal VF sensitivity, highlighting the potential value of these as control eyes, providing information on underlying longitudinal developmental changes17 that are also occurring in the glaucomatous eye. We found no...
Continuous monitoring of intraocular pressure, particularly during sleep, remains a grand challenge in glaucoma care. Here we introduce a class of smart soft contact lenses, enabling the continuous 24-hour monitoring of intraocular pressure, even during sleep. Uniquely, the smart soft contact lenses ...
Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy that is the second leading cause of preventable blindness worldwide, after cataract formation. A rise in the intraocular pressure (IOP) is considered to be a major risk factor for glaucoma and is associated with
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness. Normal tension glaucoma (NTG) is a subset of open-angle glaucoma, demonstrating glaucomatous optic nerve damage in the absence of raised intraocular pressure (IOP). NTG is more prevalent in Asian p
