Bharti Nihalani-Gangwani, MD, from the Department of Ophthalmology, Children’s Hospital, and Deborah VanderVeen, MD, from the Department of Ophthalmology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, reported that 29% developed glaucoma in a large infant cohort and the risk factors at the American Society of...
The frequency-doubling technology (FDT) screening test (FDT-C-20-1) has adopted in many recent population-based glaucoma surveys, but factors associated with false-positive (FP) responses to FDT-C-20-1 in normal eyes and false-negative (FN) responses in glaucoma eyes were not known. These...
In addition to thickness, other corneal biomechanical properties have been suggested as potential risk factors for glaucoma, such as corneal hysteresis (CH). Corneal hysteresis is a measure of the viscoelastic damping of the cornea that can be estimated by analyzing corneal responses to deformation ...
Additional risk factors for open angle glaucoma Wisconsin Medical JournalSchoff, Erik
Chauhan et al, published in a 2008 issue of the "Archives of Ophthalmology." Identified risk factors for glaucoma progression are anticardiolipin antibody, gender and age, among others. Also noted...

BACKGROUND: Why some individuals present to the ophthalmologist in the early stages of chronic glaucoma but others present with very advanced visual field loss is a question which has received little attention. This study is an attempt to identify some basic characteristics of people who present wit...
Estimates of blindness from glaucoma and risk factors for blindness remain of interest for all ophthalmologists.Long-term retrospective studies of patients with open-angle glaucoma in developed countries have noted that progression to bilateral blindness among treated patients is relatively uncommon. Risk ...
Risk factors include African American race, older age, family history of glaucoma, and diabetes. This paper describes the evaluation of a mobile eye health and a telemedicine program designed to improve access to eye care among people at high-risk for glaucoma. Methods The RE-AIM (reach, ...
Altogether, the data support that heterozygous non-synonymous variants of RPGRIP1 may cause or increase the susceptibility to various forms of glaucoma and that among other factors, physical impairment of the interaction of RPGRIP1with different proteins may contribute to the pathogenesis of forms of...
