Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of an ab interno subconjunctival gelatin implant as primary surgical intervention in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) and IOP-lowering medication count in medically uncontrolled moderate primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
Methods: In this prospective, non-randomized, open-label, multicenter, 2-year study, eyes with medicated baseline IOP 18-33 mmHg on 1-4 topical medications were implanted with (phaco + implant) or without (implant alone) phacoemulsification. Changes in mean IOP and medication count at months 12 (primary outcomes) and 24, clinical success rate (eyes [%] achieving ≥ 20% IOP reduction from baseline on the same or fewer medications without glaucoma-related secondary surgical intervention), intraoperative complications, and postoperative adverse events were assessed.

Ocular hypertension is believed to be involved in the etiology of primary open-angle glaucoma. Although many pharmaceutical agents have been shown to be effective for the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP), a significant opportunity to improve glaucoma treatments remains. Thus, the aims of the present study were: (1) to evaluate the IOP-lowering effect of four compounds RU-551, RU-555, RU-839 (pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazole), and RU-615 (imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole) on steroid-induced ocular hypertension in rats after single drop and chronic applications; and (2) to test in silico and in vitro conventional rho-associated kinase (ROCK) inhibitory activity of the selected compound.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the age-correlation of oxidative stress (OS, assessed by the accumulative OS damage marker protein carbonyls) in aqueous humour (AH; together with protein concentration) and lens epithelial cells plus capsule (LECs/capsule) in patients with cataract (CAT), and also suffering from pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX), primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PXG).
Methods: AH samples from 78 male/female patients (21, 20, 19 and 18 with CAT, PEX, PXG, and POAG, respectively), and LECs/capsule samples from 104 male/female patients (34, 32, 18, and 20 with CAT, PEX, PXG and POAG, respectively) were collected during phacoemulsification CAT surgery. Average protein carbonyl concentrations were measured in patients grouped in 5-year age intervals (ranging from 56-60 to 86-90). Read More

Advanced primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is characterized by progressive retinal ganglion cell complex (RGCC) damage that may cause subsequent disruption of the circadian rhythms. Therefore, we evaluated circadian body temperature (BT) rhythm and sleep characteristics of 115 individuals (38 men and 77 women) diagnosed with POAG. GLV (global loss volume; %), a measure of RGCC damage, was estimated by high-definition optical coherence tomography, and RGC functional ability was assessed by pattern electroretinogram amplitude (PERGA).

Purpose: To assess influence of the location of visual field (VF) loss on vision-related quality of life (VRQOL) in patients with glaucoma.
Methods: We included 826 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) enrolled in the prospectively designed Life Quality of Glaucoma Patients Who Underwent Treatment (LIGHT) study organized by the Korean Glaucoma Society. We divided the integrated binocular visual field (IVF) into four regions and evaluated the associations between Rasch-analysed 25-item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI VFQ-25) and location of the IVF using univariate and hierarchical multivariable linear regression.

Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in the pathogenesis of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). However, the potential significance of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups to POAG has not been evaluated in the overaffected African American population. To investigate the association of mtDNA haplogroups with POAG and its phenotypic characteristics, genotyping data from 4081 African American subjects (1919 cases and 2162 controls) was analyzed using 1293 positions on mtDNA.

Background: Glaucoma is commonly defined as high intra ocular pressure (≥21 mmHg) with optic neuropathy characterised by progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells which is associated with characteristic structural damage to the optic nerve and visual field loss. There are several studies investigating relation between primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and both systemic hypertension and especially night hypotension. Our aim was to compare 24-h ambulatory blood pressure variability of patients with glaucoma followed-up in the eye outpatient clinic with that of patients free of glaucoma. Read More

Objective: A prospective study was performed to observe the effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) eyedrops on intraocular pressure (IOP) and the ocular surface in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients treated with 0.005% latanoprost eyedrops.
Methods: Forty-eight subjects were randomized into two study groups (NSAID and control). Read More

Background: Oxidative stress, an increased free radicals or oxidant productions result in cellular degeneration and neurodegeneration by damage all macromolecules, inducing lipid peroxidation, protein modification, DNA damage and apoptosis or cell death.
Methods: Accumulation of the DNA damage (8HOdG) products and the end products of LPO (including aldehyde, diene, triene conjugates and Schiff's bases) were noted in the research studies. Significant higher in the levels of these products in comparison with the control were observed. Read More

Primary open-angle glaucoma is currently characterized by a pattern of progressive retinal ganglion cell loss that stems from a complex underlying pathophysiology that remains poorly elucidated. The roles of blood flow and intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucoma pathogenesis have been extensively studied. Further, it has been established that lowering IOP can slow the progression of glaucoma.

Purpose: To compare the distribution of visual field progression rates in three subgroups of glaucoma, being primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG), POAG, and juvenile open-angle glaucoma (JOAG).
Methods: We assessed glaucoma patients treated in an Indian tertiary care setting with at least four visual field assessments. We determined rates from a single eye of each of 525 patients using linear regression of the summary index mean deviation (MD) over time. Read More

Methods: Subjects with POAG and age-matched normal subjects were recruited from the outpatient department of a tertiary eye care center in South India. A total of 25 patients with POAG and 50 age-matched normal subjects were recruited. Read More

Objective: To introduce a new method of grading optic nerve stereo disc photographs and evaluate reproducibility of assessments by non-physician graders in a reading center.
Methods: Three non-physician graders, experienced in grading features of the retina but not the optic nerve head (ONH), were trained by glaucoma specialists to assess digital stereo color images of the ONH. These graders assessed a total of 2554 digital stereo disc images from glaucoma cases and controls participating in the Primary Open-Angle African American Glaucoma Genetics (POAAGG) study by outlining the optic cup and disc.

Purpose: To examine vessel density (VD) properties of the optic nerve head (ONH) in eyes with ocular hypertension (OHT), high-tension glaucoma (HTG) and normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) and to evaluate associations on structural parameters of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL).
Methods: Three groups of patients with OHT (n=15), HTG (n=36) and NTG (n=22), and a healthy control group (n=23) were included in this study. Peripapillary VD and optic disc flow area were measured using optical coherence tomography angiography, and peripapillary RNFL thickness was determined. Read More
