A large multi-ethnic genome-wide association study identifies novel genetic loci for intraocular pressure. [PDF]
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.

Comparison of Dynamic Contour Tonometry and Goldmann Applanation Tonometry
Purpose: To compare dynamic contour tonometry (DCT) and Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) and investigate the influence of central corneal thickness (CCT) onintraocular pressure. Methods: In a prospective study of 165 eyes with glaucoma (135 eyes), glaucoma suspect (14 eyes), and ocular hypertension (16 eyes), intraocularpressure was measured with ...

Axial length, myopia progression, and myopic maculopathy in Stickler syndrome
Abstract Purpose We lack knowledge on the potentially progressive nature of and the prevalence of complications to myopia as a characteristic trait of Stickler syndrome. Methods This cross‐sectional study combines ophthalmic examination and medical record data on Danish patients with genetically confirmed Stickler syndrome type 1 (COL2A1) and type 2 ...

A national survey of diagnostic tests reported by UK community optometrists for the detection of chronic open angle glaucoma [PDF]
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.

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the accuracy of recalibrated TONOVET Plus (rTVP) and the newly released TONOVET Pro (TVPR) in measuring intraocular pressure (IOP) in ex vivo canine eyes compared to manometer and the established TONOVET (TV). Procedure Sixteen enucleated canine eyes were cannulated to establish manometric IOPs ranging from 5 to 80 mmHg ...
