CH Asymmetry Associated With Asymmetry on Rates of VF Change
Researchers suggest corneal hysteresis may be predictive of glaucomatous vision loss.

Low IOP Associated with Nonresponse to Laser Trabeculoplasty
IRIS Registry data shows which patients respond to laser trabeculoplasty.
Artifacts From High Myopia Don’t Prevent Diagnosis
Researchers consider if glaucomatous damage can be accurately diagnosed in patients with high myopia using OCT.
Face Masks May Cause Visual Field Artifacts
Researchers showed how an ill-fitting face mask caused unexpected visual field readings.
Different Tonometers Show Disparity as Atmospheric Pressure Changes
Research shows how 2 tonometry instruments perform at different atmospheric pressures.
Cataract Surgery Lowers IOP Differently Across Glaucoma Subtypes
A new study evaluates the precise magnitude of IOP reduction following cataract surgery across glaucoma subtypes.
Research Identifies Glaucomatous Optic Neuropathy Criteria
A study shows the specificity of using imaging and visual fields analysis to determine glaucomatous optic neuropathy.
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.
Coronavirus 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.
Macular GCIPL Thickness Influenced by Genetics
Researchers investigated heritability factors that may influence changes to macular ganglion cell inner plexiform layer thickness.
Timolol Eyedrops Evaluated for Acute Migraine Treatment
During the study, 50 migraine patients randomly received either topically applied timolol maleate ophthalmic solution, 0.5%, or placebo eyedrops.
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.
CCT 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.
Low Blood Pressure Can Lead to Glaucomatous Damage
Research correlates low blood pressure with structural progression in medically treated normal-tension glaucoma patients.
Study: Melanocytes Develop Earlier Than Thought
Using mouse models, researchers have offered new evidence showing that the previously held view that melanocytes migrate into a near mature choroid is no longer tenable.
Topical Bimatoprost Treatment Option for Nonsegmental Facial Vitiligo
The efficacy and safety of 0.01% bimatoprost ophthalmic solution compared with 0.1% tacrolimus ointment in patients with nonsegmental facial vitiligo was analyzed in this novel studied.
Short-term PhNR Improvements Seen Following IOP Reduction
Researchers noted an optimized PhNR protocol detected short-term improvements in some glaucoma patients after applying IOP-lowering medications.
Cost Associated with Glaucoma Nonadherence
Research suggests individuals with glaucoma are more likely than those without glaucoma to skip doses or delay filling prescriptions because they can’t afford their medication.
Metabolic Syndrome Linked to Glaucoma
Research shows an association with glaucomatous optic neuropathy and elevated IOP for patients with metabolic syndrome.
Reserve 10-2 VF Tests for 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.
