A Population-based survey of the prevalence and types of glaucoma in Nigeria: results from the Nigeria National Blindness and Visual Impairment Survey. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. There tends to be a lower reporting of glaucoma in Africa compared to other blinding conditions in global burden data.

Visual field loss and vision-related quality of life in the Italian Primary Open Angle Glaucoma Study. [PDF]
The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between visual field (VF) loss, vision-related quality of life (QoL) and glaucoma-related symptoms in a large cohort of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) patients.

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness globally1. Despite its gravity, the disease is frequently undiagnosed in the community2. Raised intraocular pressure (IOP) is the most important risk factor for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG)3,4.

Evaluation of the progression of visual field damage in patients suffering from early manifest glaucoma [PDF]
BACKGROUND: This retrospective study aimed to determine how often a perimetric examination should be carried out in order to identify visual field (VF) changes in patients with relatively early manifestation glaucoma.

This study investigates a schematic overview of the mechanistic pathways. The relationship between myopia and DR has long been of clinical interest. In diabetic mice, Nna1 expression is downregulated, whereas in diabetic mice with FDM, Nna1 expression is upregulated–particularly in Müller cells–accompanied by decreased vascular endothelial growth ...
