Phase-Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging May Provide Metrics for Normal Tension Glaucoma
Researchers explore the feasibility for PC-MRI to evaluate the blood flow rate of ophthalmic arteries in patients with normal tension glaucoma.

Study: Artifacts Resulting From High Myopia Don’t Prevent Diagnosis
Researchers consider if glaucomatous damage can be accurately diagnosed in patients with high myopia using OCT.
Different Tonometers Show Stark Disparity as Atmospheric Pressure Changes
Research shows how 2 tonometry instruments perform at different atmospheric pressures.
Anxiety, Depression May Foretell Glaucoma Diagnosis
Researchers have identified a significant association between glaucoma and psychiatric disorders in glaucoma suspects, suggesting that depression and anxiety can predict progression.
SARS-CoV-2 Can Infect Ocular Tissues
A case study shows that the SARS-CoV-2 virus can infect the conjunctiva, iris, and trabecular meshwork, using specimen samples from a recently recovered COVID-19 patient undergoing ocular surgery.
Study: Ganglion Cell, Inner Plexiform Layer Thickness Influenced by Genetics
Researchers investigated heritability factors that may influence changes to macular ganglion cell inner plexiform layer thickness.
Isometric Exercise Raises Intraocular Pressure
Investigators applied continuous IOP measurements during load-bearing exercises and found similar pressure rises independent of muscle group, and subject sex.
Central Corneal Thickness Peaks at 12 Months After Congenital Cataract Surgery
Researchers examined the changes in intraocular pressure and central corneal thickness in pediatric patients over the 2-year period following surgery for congenital cataracts.
Additional 10-2 Visual Field Testing Only Prudent in High-Risk Patients
Researchers conclude that 24-2 Humphrey Field Analyzer testing is sufficient to diagnose progression in most cases of open-angle glaucoma, and that 10-2 visual field testing is best reserved for patients at the highest risk of glaucoma progression.
OCT-A Can Find Ocular Changes in Patients with Sleep Apnea
Researchers used OCT-A imaging to uncover microvasculature changes at peripapillary and parafoveal regions in patients with varying degrees of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
