Abstract Purpose Understanding test–retest variability (TRV) of mesopic microperimetry is critical for defining meaningful treatment effects in retinitis pigmentosa (RP) trials. This study uniquely evaluates intra‐ and intervisit TRV and coefficients of repeatability (CoRs) for microperimetry parameters in RP patients with varying best‐corrected visual

Higher risk and earlier onset glaucoma in Cushing's syndrome
Abstract Purpose Glaucoma incidence in patients with endogenous Cushing's syndrome (CS) has never been established. We aim to assess the risk for glaucoma among CS patients compared to controls and determine the age of disease onset. Methods A nationwide retrospective matched‐cohort study of patients with endogenous CS diagnosed between 2000 and 2023 ...
