Capsular Glaucoma and Other Ophthalmic Complications of Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome

Okulistyka
Pseudoexfoliation syndrome is an age-related disorder of the extracellular matrix, characterized by the deposition of pathological fibrillar material in the structures of the anterior segment of the eye and in extraocular tissues.

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 ...

Hormonal replacement therapy in postmenopausal women ≥50 years is associated with the incidence of glaucoma: Evidence from 6576 females in Finland

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) in postmenopausal women appears to affect glaucoma risk, but findings are inconsistent. We aimed to explore whether the use of postmenopausal HRT plays a role in glaucoma development in Finland. Methods The main outcome variable was glaucoma incidence measured by initiation of special reimbursement ...

THE ROLE OF THE LOCAL AND GENERAL SOMATIC FACTORS FOR THE OPEN-ANGLE GLAUCOMA DEVELOPMENT IN PATIENTS WITH EYE MANIFESTATIONS OF PSEUDOEXFOLIATION SYNDROME

Офтальмохирургия, 2015
Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES) is one of the best known triggers of glaucoma. The development of the open-angle glaucoma only in some patients with the PES with definite local and general risk factors requires a further research.Purpose.

The Tutopatch® assisted surgery for complex strabismus study: TASCS‐study

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To investigate the efficacy of tendon elongation using bovine pericardium (Tutopatch®) in complex strabismus surgeries, with a specific focus on longer follow‐up of postoperative outcomes and patient satisfaction. Methods In this pre‐post cohort study, the records of all patients who underwent tendon elongation strabismus surgery with ...

Patient‐reported outcomes and visual function after four refractive strategies in cataract surgery: A randomized controlled trial

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) and visual function across four groups of public cataract patients: emmetropia, mini‐monovision, monovision with partial‐range of field (RoF) narrow intraocular lenses (IOLs) and patients implanted with partial‐RoF extended IOLs.

Adult‐onset Coats disease: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of imaging biomarkers and targeted therapies

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Coats disease diagnosed in adulthood is a rare idiopathic retinal telangiectatic vasculopathy that may differ in phenotype from childhood‐diagnosed cases. This systematic review synthesizes current evidence to characterize its clinical spectrum, imaging features, treatment outcomes and underlying mechanisms, with a focus on immunovascular ...

Biomarkers in primary open angle glaucoma

Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (CCLM), 2012
Abstract Glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness worldwide, is currently defined as a disturbance of the structural or functional integrity of the optic nerve that causes characteristic atrophic changes in the optic nerve, which may lead to specific visual field defects over time.

Protein misfolding and mitochondrial dysfunction in glaucoma

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Elevated intraocular pressure caused by restricted outflow of the aqueous humor leads to the degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and their axons.
