Recent evidence supports the presence of macular damage (within 8° central field) to retinal ganglion cells and associated visual field (VF) defects in glaucoma, even early stages. Despite this, our knowledge, association 10-2 VF with vision-related quality life (QOL) has not been well studied.To determine between QOL function as measured by 24-2 VFs patients primary open-angle glaucoma test hypothesis that disproportionate their status may exhibit overlooked test.In this cross-sectional...

Although almost equal numbers of male and female medical students enter into ophthalmology residency programs, whether they have similar surgical experiences during training is unclear.To determine differences for cataract surgery total procedural volume between residents residency.This retrospective, longitudinal analysis resident case logs from 24 US programs spanned July 2005 to June 2017. A 1271 were included. Data analyzed August 12, 2017, through April 4, 2018.Variables included mean...

Purpose: To assess the agreement between structural (optical coherence tomography [OCT]) and functional (visual field [VF]) glaucomatous damage with an automated method deviation/probability maps, to compare this a metric method. Methods: Wide-field spectral-domain OCT scans, including disc macula, 24-2 10-2 VFs were obtained from 45 healthy control (H) eyes/individuals, 53 eyes/patients mean deviation (MD) better than −6 dB diagnosed as "definite glaucoma" (DG) by experts. Abnormal...

Diagnosis and detection of progression glaucoma remains challenging. Artificial intelligence-based tools have the potential to improve standardize assessment but development these algorithms is difficult given multimodal variable nature diagnosis. Currently, most are focused on a single imaging modality, specifically screening diagnosis based fundus photos or optical coherence tomography images. Use anterior segment goniophotographs limited. The majority designed for disease prediction...

Purpose: To investigate the ocular surface microbiome of patients with unilateral or asymmetric glaucoma being treated topical ophthalmic medications in one eye and to determine whether microbial community changes were related measures disease. Methods: V3-V4 16S rRNA sequencing was conducted on swabs collected from both eyes 17 subjects: 10 asymmetric/unilateral using therapy only seven age-matched, healthy controls no history disease eyedrop use. Samples categorized into three groups:...

Glaucoma-related molecular biomarkers can improve clinical testing to diagnose the disease early, predict its prognosis, and monitor treatment responses. Based on evidence of increased oxidative stress in glaucomatous tissues, this study analyzed stress-related biomarker candidates blood aqueous humor samples with or without glaucoma.The collected from carefully selected groups 96 patients glaucoma 64 healthy subjects were included study.

The Tube vs Trabeculectomy Trial (TVT) found that the 350-mm2 Baerveldt implant (tube) and trabeculectomy with mitomycin may be similarly effective in lowering intraocular pressure primary open-angle glaucoma. However, to date, there are no published long-term clinical data on cost-effectiveness of tube insertion.To assess these procedures compared maximal medical treatment.We used Markov cohort model a 5-year time horizon study hypothetical 100 000 patients who required glaucoma...

Purpose: Besides glia-driven neuroinflammation, growing evidence from analysis of human blood samples, isolated autoantibodies, and postmortem tissues also support systemic immune responses during neurodegeneration in glaucoma patients. To explore the T-cell–mediated component immunity, this study analyzed T lymphocytes patients' blood. Methods: Blood samples were collected 32 patients with 21 nonglaucomatous controls, mononuclear cells by Histopaque density gradient centrifugation. T-cell...

Pegasus outperformed 5 of the 6 ophthalmologists in terms diagnostic performance, and there was no statistically significant difference between deep learning system "best case" consensus ophthalmologists. The agreement gold standard 0.715, whereas highest ophthalmologist with 0.613. Furthermore, high sensitivity makes it a valuable tool for screening patients glaucomatous optic neuropathy.The purpose this study to evaluate performance identification neuropathy.Six system, Pegasus, graded 110...
