Cluster Analysis Models Demonstrate Superiority to Pointwise Methods for Predicting Visual Field
Optical coherence tomography alone may not be sufficient in accurately predicting visual function across the entire macula, according to the report.

Choroidal Microvasculature Dropout Changes May Signal Glaucoma Progression
The association between faster microvasculature dropout and circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thinning may be useful in assessing glaucoma progression, according to the report.
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Decrease Trabeculotomy Failure Risk
Spikes in intraocular pressure and eyes without hyphema presented a higher risk of failure in eyes receiving gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy.
High Coffee Consumption May Increase Glaucoma Risk
The investigators reviewed genetic variants associated with primary open-angle glaucoma and coffee consumption.
Laser Peripheral Iridotomy Reduces Acute Angle Closure Attack Following Mydriasis
Prophylactic laser peripheral iridotomy reduces the low risk of an acute angle closure attack in glaucoma suspects even further.
Pain Indicates Neurological Function, Better Outcomes Following Cyclophotocoagulation
Researchers encourage early intervention in treating children with microbial keratitis and advise clinicians to exercise caution in using cyclophotocoagulation for pediatric patients.
Novel Optical Coherence Tomography Method Detects Glaucoma in Eyes With High Axial Myopia
This novel technique requires the segmentation of only 1 retinal layer in order to detect glaucoma.
Disparities Noted Between Academic and Non-Academic Glaucoma Centers
Researchers advise working to ensure residency and fellowship training programs reinforce adherence to the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s preferred practices.
Caregivers Indicate Significant Burdens in Caring For Patients With Visual Impairment
Clinicians must understand the burdens caregivers of patients with visual impairment experience in order to create effective interventions.
Papillofoveal and Papillomacular Bundle Defects Detected in Eyes With Early Glaucoma
Conventional notions assumed that the fovea and macula were not affected until the later stages of glaucoma, the report states.
