Intraocular pressure is currently the only known reliable, modifiable risk factor for the development and progression of glaucoma. Other risk factors for glaucoma include increasing age, myopia, decre...
Neuroanatomical variations across the visual field of human observers go along with corresponding variations of the perceived coarseness of visual stimuli. Here we show that horizontal gratings are pe...
Human visual performance changes dramatically both across (eccentricity) and around (polar angle) the visual field. Performance is better at the fovea, decreases with eccentricity, and is better along...
The earlier a person quits smoking the more likely is the optic nerve be spared from damage....
To investigate the effect of smoking cessation on visual field (VF) progression in glaucoma....
Primary open angle glaucoma patients with a minimum of 3 years follow-up and 5 VFs were included. Linear mixed models were used to investigate the effects of smoking on the rates of 24-2 VF mean devia...
Five hundred eleven eyes of 354 patients were included over the mean follow-up of 12.4 years. Mean baseline age (95% confidence interval) was 62.3 (61.2, 63.4) years. One hundred forty nine (42.1%) pa...
After ≥25 years of smoking cessation, the risk of VF progression in former heavy smokers becomes similar to never smokers. Long-term smoking cessation may be associated with lower VF progression in gl...
Previous studies have suggested behavioral patterns, such as visual attention and eye movements, relate to individual personality traits. However, these studies mainly focused on free visual tasks, an...
Despite, the potential clinical utility of 60-4 visual fields, they are not frequently used in clinical practice partly, due to the purported impact of facial contour on field defects. The purpose of ...
Subjects with no ocular pathology were included. Participants were subject to optical coherence tomography, 60-4 Swedish interactive thresholding algorithm visual field tests and photography. The pred...
30 healthy were enrolled. Three-dimensional facial reconstruction using a convolution neural network (CNN) was able to predict facial contour-dependent 60-4 visual field defects in 30 subjects without...
This pilot study reports the development of a CNN-enhanced platform capable of predicting 60-4 visual field defects in healthy controls based on facial contour. Further study with this platform may en...
To measure visual field (VF) rates of change after Ahmed Glaucoma Valve (AGV) implantation and to investigate risk factors for progression....
Retrospective, clinical cohort study....
Patients who underwent AGV implantation with at least 4 eligible postoperative VFs and 2 years of follow-up were included. Baseline, intraoperative, and postoperative data were collected. VF progressi...
A total of 173 eyes were included. The intraocular pressure (IOP) and number of glaucoma medications were significantly reduced from a median (interquartile range [IQR]) of 23.5 (12.1) mm Hg at baseli...
To our knowledge, this is the largest published series reporting long-term VF outcomes after glaucoma drainage device implantation. There is a continued, significant rate of VF decline after AGV surge...
To evaluate the relationship between interocular asymmetries of corneal hysteresis (CH) and visual field defects in Korean patients with glaucoma....
A total of 444 eyes from 222 participants with glaucoma in at least one eye were enrolled. CH was measured using an ocular response analyzer (Reichert Technologies Inc). Eyes of each participant were ...
Median (interquartile range) MD value was -3.71 dB (-6.87 to -1.30 dB) in the better eye and -10.20 dB (-16.32 to -5.62 dB) in the worse eye. When the correlation between the asymmetry of the MD value...
The interocular asymmetry of CH was significantly correlated with the interocular asymmetry of visual field defects in glaucoma....
To compare the accuracy of detecting moderate and rapid rates of glaucoma worsening over a 2-year period with different numbers of OCT scans and visual field (VF) tests in a large sample of glaucoma a...
Descriptive and simulation study....
The OCT sample comprised 12 150 eyes from 7392 adults with glaucoma or glaucoma suspect status followed up at the Wilmer Eye Institute from 2013 through 2021. The VF sample comprised 20 583 eyes from ...
Within-eye rates of change in retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and mean deviation (MD) were measured using linear regression. For each measured rate, simulated measurements of RNFL thickness...
The accuracy of diagnosing moderate and rapid rates of glaucoma worsening for different numbers of OCT scans and VF tests over a 2-year period....
Accuracy was less than 50% for both OCT and VF when diagnosing worsening after a 2-year period. OCT accuracy was 5 to 10 percentage points higher than VF accuracy at detecting moderate worsening and 1...
More frequent OCT scans and VF tests are needed to improve the accuracy of diagnosing glaucoma worsening. Accuracy greatly increases when relying on both OCT and VF to detect worsening....

to compare visual field (VF) progression between the 2 arms of the Treatment of Advanced Glaucoma Study (TAGS)....
Post hoc analysis of VF data from a 2-arm, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial....
A total of 453 patients with newly diagnosed advanced open-angle glaucoma in at least 1 eye from 27 centers in the United Kingdom were randomized to either trabeculectomy (n = 227) or medication in th...
This study analyzed 211 eyes in the trabeculectomy first arm and 203 eyes in the medication first arm. The average RoP (estimate [95% credible intervals]) was -0.59 [-0.88, -0.31] dB/year in the medic...
There was no significant difference in the average RoP at 2 years....
