Pharmacogenetics of ophthalmic topical β-blockers [PDF]

, 2008
Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. The primary glaucoma risk factor is elevated intraocular pressure. Topical β-blockers are affordable and widely used to lower intraocular pressure.

Anterior chamber flare and central macular thickness after trabeculectomy versus after phacoemulsification

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
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.

Primary open‐angle glaucoma as a marker of upcoming Alzheimer's disease: A 20‐year Danish National Registry‐Based Study

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To investigate whether primary open‐angle glaucoma (POAG) is associated with an increased long‐term risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, given its shared neurodegenerative features. Methods A 20‐year longitudinal, registry‐based matched cohort study was conducted using Danish national health registries from 1998 to 2018. Individuals

The medical management of glaucoma

South African Family Practice, 2017
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. The main characteristic features include optic disc cupping, visual field loss, and in most instances a raised intraocular pressure.

A Randomised Open Label Comparative Clinical Trial on the Efficacy of Latanoprost and Timolol in Primary Open Angle Glaucoma [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016
Introduction: Timolol, a beta blocker, is the most commonly prescribed first line therapy in the treatment of primary open angle glaucoma. Latanoprost, a prostaglandin analogue, is a novel drug in glaucoma therapy.

Evaluation of the progression of visual field damage in patients suffering from early manifest glaucoma [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: This retrospective study aimed to determine how often a perimetric examination should be carried out in order to identify visual field (VF) changes in patients with relatively early manifestation glaucoma.

Using continuous visual stimulus tracking for detecting visual function loss due to acquired brain injury

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Acquired brain injury (ABI) may cause homonymous visual field (VF) defects. Standard automated perimetry (SAP) is the gold standard for VF assessment, but it can be challenging in ABI. Continuous visual stimulus tracking (SONDA; Standardised Oculomotor and Neurological Disorders Assessment) simplifies the perimetric task to following a

Asymmetric Patterns of Visual Field Defect in Primary Open-Angle and Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma [PDF]

, 2018
Purpose: To compare the hemifield asymmetry of visual field (VF) loss in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) across all severity levels. Methods: A total of 522 eyes of 327 patients with POAG (mean age ± SD, 54.
