Extended Ganglion Cell Layer Thickness Deviation Maps With OCT in Glaucoma Diagnosis [PDF]
Purpose: The aim of the present study was to investigate the diagnostic power of RGCL in the macula quantitatively and qualitatively by using a conventional and extended elliptic grid with deviation maps.Subjects and Methods: Thickness of RGCL was ...

Agonistic autoantibodies against ß2-adrenergic receptor influence retinal microcirculation in glaucoma suspects and patients. [PDF]
PurposeAgonistic β2-adrenergic receptor autoantibodies (β2-agAAb) have been observed in sera of patients with ocular hypertension and open-angle glaucoma (OAG).

Retinal peripapillary nerve fiber and retinal ganglion cell layer thickening preceed atrophy in children and teenagers with optic disc drusen [PDF]
In adults, optic disc drusen (ODD) are linked to thinning of the retinal ganglion cell layer (rGCL) and peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (pRNFL), but stage-specific pediatric changes remain unclear.

Examining the concordance of retinal ganglion cell counts generated using measures of structure and function. [PDF]
Abstract Purpose There are several indirect methods used to estimate retinal ganglion cell (RGC) count in an individual eye, but there is limited information as to the agreement between these methods. In this work, RGC receptive field (RGC‐RF) count underlying a spot stimulus (0.43°, Goldmann III) was calculated and compared using three different ...

TRPV4 controls circadian and pathological ocular hypertension. [PDF]
Abstract figure legend Transient receptor potential vanilloid isoform 4 (TRPV4) maintains ocular hypertension under physiological and pathological conditions. Left: night‐time. The nocturnal phase of the circadian rhythm elevates intraocular pressure (IOP) to ∼22 mmHg in a TRPV4‐dependent manner.

Background: Three-thirds of people with radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS) develop multiple sclerosis (MS) within five years following their first brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Subclinical applications of optical coherence tomography (OCT) include measuring the thickness of different retinal layers and monitoring the progression of visual

Abstract Purpose The relationship between perimetric stimulus area and Ricco's area (RA) determines measured thresholds and the sensitivity of perimetry to retinal disease. The nature of this relationship, in addition to effect of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) number on this, is currently unknown for the adaptation conditions of mesopic microperimetry ...

Temporal summation in myopia and its implications for the investigation of glaucoma
Abstract Purpose We have previously demonstrated the upper limit of complete spatial summation (Ricco's area) to increase in non‐pathological axial myopia compared to non‐myopic controls. This study sought to investigate whether temporal summation is also altered in axial myopia to determine if this aspect of visual function, like in glaucoma, is ...
