Serum Biomarkers for the Diagnosis of Glaucoma
Despite the importance of the early detection of glaucoma, most patients with progressive glaucoma show minimal symptoms. We aimed to evaluate biomarkers for glaucoma diagnosis in Korea. Forty-two volunteers with/without open-angle glaucoma were enrolled

Normal tension glaucoma---a practical approach [PDF]
Normal tension glaucoma (NTG) remains a difficult diagnosis for the ophthalmologist who favours the argument that raised intraocular pressure (IOP) is essential for the diagnosis of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). The concept of NTG challenges us to distinguish between pressure dependent and pressure independent causal factors.

Exploring the histopathological signature of repeat‐mediated Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy
Abstract Purpose To determine the histological differences between Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) cases with and without the most common genetic risk factor, expansion of a CTG repeat (CTG18.1) within the TCF4 gene. Methods Formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded corneal tissues were compared retrospectively, and CTG18.1 status was determined from

Where does selective laser trabeculoplasty stand now? A review [PDF]
Background: Chronic treatment of glaucoma can present a challenge in patients who lack the means and/or the discipline to use daily glaucoma medication. We wondered if selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) could be a useful alternative.

Abstract Purpose To determine the long‐term blindness rate and related prognostic factors in eyes with open‐angle glaucoma after trabeculectomy using adjunctive mitomycin C (MMC). Methods The retrospective cohort study included 714 eyes from 714 patients with open angle glaucoma who underwent trabeculectomy using MMC.

Genetic Epidemiology of Glaucoma [PDF]
Glaucoma is a heterogeneous group of optic neuropathies that have in common an accelerated degeneration of retinal ganglion cells and their axons, a subsequent typical excavation of the optic disc and a concomitant pattern of irreversible visual field ...

Imaging of the Lamina Cribrosa using Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography. [PDF]
The lamina cribrosa (LC) is the presumed site of axonal injury in glaucoma. Its deformation has been suggested to contribute to optic neuropathy by impeding axoplasmic flow within the optic nerve fibers, leading to apoptosis of retinal ganglion cells. To

Abstract Purpose To compare the inflammatory response in the eye after trabeculectomy to after phacoemulsification, focusing on anterior chamber flare (AC flare) and central macular thickness (CMT). Methods Data from 436 participants in two randomized controlled trials were analysed.
