Reutilization of disposable rebound tonometer probes: Risk or return?

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2023
Purpose: An advantage of rebound tonometry (RT) is its ease of use so that it can also be operated by health care technicians. However, the cost of the disposable measuring probes is high and their reuse carries the risk of infection.

Interpreting the structure–function relationship in high myopia‐associated glaucoma: A review

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Visual field (VF) interpretation in high myopia‐associated glaucoma (HMG) is challenging due to frequent structure–function discordance and coexisting myopia‐related changes. These changes may reduce the reliability of conventional structure–function mapping and increase the risk of misclassifying non‐glaucomatous VF abnormalities as ...

Real‐world insights on switching aflibercept dosage for enhanced outcomes in age‐related macular degeneration (RISE‐AMD): Safety data

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate real‐world safety experience with aflibercept 8 mg in a large case series of patients with neovascular age‐related macular degeneration (nAMD). Methods Due to a high proportion of patients on short treatment intervals, patients with nAMD at a Danish tertiary retina clinic were systematically switched to aflibercept 8 mg ...

Evaluation of the agreement and reliability of Transpalpebral Tonometers compared with Goldmann Applanation Tonometer – A systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocol

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2023
In 2020, the global prevalence of glaucoma was estimated to be 76 million and it was projected to increase to 111.8 million by 2040. Accurate intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement is imperative in glaucoma management since it is the only modifiable risk

Variation in measuring and ophthalmic factors correlating with central corneal thickness in the Northern Finland birth cohort eye study

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To assess the correlation between optical coherence tomography (OCT) and ultrasound pachymetry (USP) as methods for analysing central corneal thickness (CCT) and to evaluate ophthalmic factors affecting CCT. Methods The eyes of 3070 subjects of the Northern Finland Birth Cohort (NFBC) were examined at the age of 45–49 years.
