Glaucoma case finding and management among optometrists in Ghana and Nigeria
Optometry and Vision Science, Volume 102, Issue 9, Page 529-535, September 2025.SIGNIFICANCE: This research contributes to the understanding of glaucoma case finding and management in Ghana and Nigeria. As areas of high glaucoma prevalence, gaining insight into this is paramount to identify barriers and better understand how to improve the detection of this blinding eye disease in an at‐risk population.

Comparison of Applanation Tonometry with and without Fluorescein
مجله دانشکده پزشکی اصفهان, 2011 Background: Tonometry is one of the important parts of ocular examination. It has been estimated that more than 900000 people in the United State have visual problems due to glaucoma; however most of them are not aware of their disease.

Non contact tonometry synchronized with cardiac rhythm and its relationship with blood pressure [PDF]
, 2006 Purpose: The main objectives of this study were to determine the differences between non-synchronized intraocular pressure (IOP_N) and intraocular pressure readings synchronized with cardiac pulse and try to determine if these parameters are related to ...

A large multi-ethnic genome-wide association study identifies novel genetic loci for intraocular pressure. [PDF]
, 2017 Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor for glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness. IOP heritability has been estimated to up to 67%, and to date only 11 IOP loci have been reported, accounting for 1.5% of IOP variability.

A national survey of diagnostic tests reported by UK community optometrists for the detection of chronic open angle glaucoma [PDF]
, 2011 Purpose: In the UK, the majority of cases of chronic open angle glaucoma are detected by community optometrists following a routine sight test. However, there is potential for variability in case finding strategies used.

24-h Efficacy of Glaucoma Treatment Options [PDF]
, 2016 Current management of glaucoma entails the medical, laser, or surgical reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) to a predetermined level of target IOP, which is commensurate with either stability or delayed progression of visual loss.
