Primary open‐angle glaucoma as a marker of upcoming Alzheimer's disease: A 20‐year Danish National Registry‐Based Study

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To investigate whether primary open‐angle glaucoma (POAG) is associated with an increased long‐term risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, given its shared neurodegenerative features. Methods A 20‐year longitudinal, registry‐based matched cohort study was conducted using Danish national health registries from 1998 to 2018. Individuals

Retinal oxygen saturation and retinal vessel diameter in glaucoma patients before and after trabeculectomy

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To compare retinal vessel oxygen saturations and diameters before, 1 and 3 months after trabeculectomy. Methods Retinal oxygen saturations and vessel diameters were obtained using retinal oximetry. The effect of the postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) decrease on the arteriovenous difference (AV‐difference) was evaluated ...

Prognostic factors of optical coherence tomography angiography in intermediate and advanced primary open‐angle glaucoma: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Conventional optical coherence tomography (OCT) has a floor effect in patients with severe visual field loss, such as seen in advanced primary open‐angle glaucoma (POAG). OCT angiography (OCTA) does not suffer from such a floor effect. However, which OCTA parameters are most useful for monitoring longitudinal progression is unclear.

Impact of mono‐ or multitherapy on ocular surface health and quality of life after 5 years of follow‐up in the Glaucoma Intensive Treatment Study (GITS)

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim To evaluate the impact of initial mono‐ versus multitherapy on the ocular surface and related quality of life after 5 years follow‐up in the Glaucoma Intensive Treatment Study (GITS). Method The study included patients with primary open‐angle glaucoma and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma who completed 5‐year follow‐up in GITS.
